Long Hot Days

We are in the middle of the long hot days of summer here in the Klamath Basin but at least it is dry heat.  It doesn't really feel like 100 degrees - at least not the heat of my childhood in the South. Still a lot of smoke from the fires. Our sunflowers are putting on a show. Planted for the birds to enjoy.

Smoke and Fires

So many fires around us and so much smoke. It is very quiet around here except for the trains in the distance. Sat outside last night. The winds took some of the smoke away. We could watch the borate bombers taking off from the airport in the distance. Well, with the winds there are no mosquitoes.
