Crispy and smokey

The drought continues. We gave up on the lawn weeks ago. It is brown and crispy and hasn’t been mowed since June because it doesn’t grow.

Last week we got a lot of smokey air from the fires burning in Canada and on the West Coast. Let’s get ready for another hot dry week.

In there is a lot of green in the picture because of the trees.

On hot days I like to take my walk early in the morning before the pavement gets too hot. This one was taken at about 8 in the morning last Thursday. It was still hazy and smokey but the air smelled better.

Temperatures are going to be in the 90’s today and for most of the week. We get a break on Friday, with temperatures in the upper 80’s.
