I’m Back!

On It · ‎03-15-2021

Our internet was restored this morning. Our TV will possibly be restored this weekend. TDS did a remarkable job of getting a temporary fix until the main hub can be rebuilt.

Our house was unscathed thankfully. The firefighters were camped across the street. They worked 24/7 bringing the fires under control. Watching their comings and goings helped pass the time.

The photo below speaks volumes. Our wild horses made this appearance on the first afternoon of our arrival. They were headed to the athletic field when I snapped this photo. Notice the tents. Those are some of the 1000+ firefighters who stayed on the back side of the school instead of on the front with the majority. Look at the top of the photo. That is the part of the burn scar visible from our home.

@On It What is a burn scar? I don't know what I'm suppose to see at the top of the photo.

Great news!!!! Thanks to the firefighters who put all their time and effort working around the clock to control the fires. They are heroes! It is good to see the wild horses are back and everything looks like it is moving forward in a positive way! Thanks for sharing and letting us know all is well!!!

A burn scar is the fire's path of destruction. The area is permanently altered. If you look at the ridge of the mountain you will see the scarred trees. It is brown, not green. Look at the smaller hillside below the burned one and there are healthy green trees. The color variation is more pronounced to the eye than in this photo's coloring.

@On It Oh wow!!!!! I see it now. I had to enlarge your photo ~~which I should have done the first time around.~~

Your photos are better than watching & seeing the destruction on the news.

Thanks for the explanation.

Glad things are starting to get back to some normalcy for you and that your property wasn't affected. A nice warm welcome from your horses, so great! @On It

@On It Thank goodness that your home was spared

and you are safe.

It is so nice to see the wild horses that survived all the devastation. I feel so badly for people who lost homes

and the loss of habitat for animals. Hopefully, most of the animals were able to escape the path of fire.

Thank you for sharing your pictures and letting us know that you are okay.
