More smoke, with ash...

My car looks like a fire hazard, actually everything in the yard looks like we had a huge bonfire...

This summer has not been the best for air quality and certainly not great to let the dogs run around in. Not sure where this fire is burning but its got to be close. I wish we would get some rain!! Any rain, even a few drops would be nice!

I'm waiting for some extra time to get out to do some more berry picking but after two bee stings (one each night) I'm thinking twice about it. Do bees come out more at night? I can never seem to find time during the day but if I keep getting stung I may have to change my midnight berry habits. :(

I cant tell you how bad I am wishing for snow... I feel like an addict... first the withdrawals, that happened months ago, now the short temper and irritable mood. Or maybe because of the smoke... I cant seem to think straight but I'm sure the lack of snow has a lot to do with it.

We have gotten a few cooler mornings but its still getting up to 70 during the day. Way too hot to start fall training but I am watching really close for some cooler mornings, or evenings.

Since we still have neighbors I have to be considerate of them and expect the dogs left at home to raise holy hell when we leave on the four wheeler. Too bad I don't have a super heavy rig that I can take them all out but only doing two trips isn't all that bad...
