SMOKE-FILLED AUGUST

 POST # 564

Southbound on Amtrak

 Smoke free days are hard to come by this month.  Smoke,  mainly from fires in Canada, has enshrouded the skies from morning until night.  As I write these words, the sky is yet again filled with more smoke.  It has almost become normal, which can't be a good thing.

However, there was a clear day this past week, which allowed me to help out Mary, by re-staining her gazebo.  Here I am in action.

 

In spite of it all, Dora-dog seems not to notice, as long as she has a toy and a human to play with.  Smoke shmoke is her reply. Let's just play.  That's Dora-dog wisdom.

Perhaps September will bring some relief. I guess we'll know soon enough.

grateful for every breath, (in spite of the smoke)
