Smoky Skies.


This was our bedroom the other morning,
well after the sun would have been up.


Because of the catastrophic forest fires
in the Province next to us, our sky is dark.


Full of smoke, making this eery portrait. It's
hard to breathe and a State of Emergency has
been declared. Here, one Province over, they
have asked people to stay inside until this clears.


I went to work but had 2 asthma attacks
during the day. I typically have 1 to 2 a
year, so it's pretty bad. I'm worried about
family, friends and our little veggie patch.


We desparately need rain here to clear all
the smoke from the skies but in B.C., they
need the fires to be extinguished. It's so
scary and many are being evacuated. I
can't imagine the terror of not knowing
if you're home will still be standing when
this is all over. Crews are doing the very
best they can but we truly all need rain ....

The wildfires are truly a nightmare for the people in their path and the smoke and haze in the air is a problem for all of us but especially those who like you have a breathing issue. We so desperately need rain to clear the air and help extinguish those fires.

Are you doing okay Granny? I've thought of you often the last little bit hoping you aren't in the direct path! X Chy
