As I finished cleaning out all the beds and sweeping up the last of the fallen leaves yesterday evening on our front patio, I began to smell "a smoky wind"....I knew from the Cedar Fires a few years back that I had just cleaned the patio in time for ash to fall all over it. If you look close you can see the flecks of ash already...as of 8:30 this morning on this patio tile...
Normally, those Santa Anna winds are a nice warming trend to the weather, but when it comes to fire I am wishing them away...especially for those families evacuated.
To let all the folks outside SD know that although the fires are burnin' in several parts of our County, our little neighborhood of North Park is only affected by poor air quality at this point. Fingers crossed that this is as bad as it gets for us until those fires are under control.

Hi Lydia, so glad to hear you are okay. I saw on line that you need to stay off cell phones. So I decided to give this another try. We will keep checking on you. Love you, Jackie
I'm sorry about your "cleaning for the ashes"...
It's kinda like washing your car right before it rains only lots more disruptive...thx for the thought though :)
Dearest Lydia and family, We miss you very much and hope to visit you as soon as possible.
Take care, here is a current pic of Alaina. She is so beautiful.
