This is our garden at 0830 yesterday. Sunrise was 0630.
From the smoke. It was dark all day.
It was heavy all day and might continue for awhile. Our eyes and throats are burning.
Other than that things are good. Another round of salsa canning tomorrow.
I’ll need a flashlight to be outside tomorrow.
It’s very dark and looks like late evening. The irritation on your eyes and throats must be awful. I hope you are not waiting to long for it all to clear and see the fresh air again. 😊🌈
The darkness certainly had all the animals confused.
The chickens stayed in their roosting boxes till about 0900! When they came out they just sat there trying to figure it all out. There were no birds to be seen or heard.
It was fully dark again by 1630. Normally it would be dark around 2000.
Well, it gives people something to talk about.
Oh Dave it looks terrible! Please stay in as much as you can. Do you have an air purifier in your house!
Yes we do. It has been running for several days now. The wind is due to change soon so the air should get better.
This looks so bad. Hope you staying indoors as often as need be and get a purifier
Oh goodness dave, that looks and sounds awful. Spinner's idea of an air purifier sounds good. If you get any problems with your chests, make sure you all seek advice. Stay safe. xx
Yes, we have a purifier running in the house which really helps.
We are not spending a lot of time outside.
Dave, wishing you & your family all the very best of luck during this horrendous time you are going through. It is amazing that you have kept your spirits up & are carrying on with your daily chores. Our thoughts are with you. Let's hope the rains will come soon. & give you all a break from this awful catastrophe.
Dave, this is wretched!! Where do you live?
My children live in Boulder, Colorado and were experiencing a heavy haze over small city and ash on porches carried from wildfires in mtns miles away until days ago 4" snowfall.
Sending you best wishes that the air quality improves quickly and dramatically and that you and yours are staying safe and well!
Thanks.
We are on the Sonoma coast, California.
Things were better today.
I would love to have snow or anything wet!
Keeping you and all in those horrific wildfire states in my thoughts and prayers...will include snow and rain to help put them out sooner.
And there are those who still global warming?????
