How long can fires go on?<br /><br />The good thing is that nature always recovers and soon your hillsides will be green again. I know that that is little consolation for the people who have lost everything, but there too is hope that one day all will be well again.<br /><br /><br />Frikohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04277167831642088694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7041834369094012241.post-15430239161073281092013-06-20T02:46:28.942-06:002013-06-20T02:46:28.942-06:00Happy Anniversary.

Fires like these are so horrible – I think about all the wild animals that have to run away. Once, in Montana, when I visited my daughter in Helena who was writing her master’s thesis, we saw flames and smoke like this from a hill over the city, it was scary. I hope your health is getting better – thanks for coming to my blog.Vagabondehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10774109692564954568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7041834369094012241.post-72761673263183666662013-06-18T17:45:41.880-06:002013-06-18T17:45:41.880-06:00A Big Belated Happy Anniversary to a wonderful cou...A Big Belated Happy Anniversary to a wonderful couple. You both look so happy and the love you share shows in your pictures.<br />I have been watching the fires on TV and my heart aches for all the families involved and loosing their homes. Of course the beautiful area too that will take a life time to grow back.<br />So glad I was able to come by tonight for a visit.

I've never lived anywhere close to a forest fire and so I have experienced only the videos on national television, but your words makes all of this so real.<br /><br />I've been away from reading and commenting on blogs for several weeks. The last posting of yours I read was about the tests you were having done. I'm wondering if you learned from those tests just what you're dealing with physically? I so hope that happened.<br /><br />Finally, happy anniversary. You and Jim have enjoyed twenty years of being one another's best friends. That is a great gift from the Universe.

I now find that I'm wishing you a belated Happy Wedding Anniversary - 21 years. I love the photo of you and Jim and you are wearing your pretty necklace. I've always thought that Jim looked like such a kind man, and how wonderful that you two found each other. I was so sorry to hear about the fires, and I can imagine just how sad you must feel. I do pray that you and all your family are keeping safe and that you will have the much needed rains very soon. That looks like such a lovely spot for a meal, with wonderful views. There are 'your' mountains again!

He said the smoke they're getting seems to be from the Canon City fire. I know air quality in Denver is very bad due to the Black Forest Fire. We were going to go down tomorrow for the weekend, but have decided to wait.
