Look at the difference. This is what Grand Lake usually looks like, and then there is a photo of what it looked like today. Please pray for all these families who have lost their homes, or have had to leave their homes, and for the safety of all the fire fighters. We don't have any fires close, but our sky is filled with smoke. We had a few sprinkles of rain both yesterday and today - the whole state is just a tinderbox. Thank You all for your prayers and concerns. Jan

There is a lot of smoke in those hills! C Springs, Ft Collins. Is is not a good situation here at all. Thank you for your prayers, I hope all the Colorado Cuties check in with their buddies, and let us know you are OK!

What a fabulous spot. Love the mountains and lakes.
Follow it all on the news and hope and pray that the fires will soon be under control. One thing I can say is that we had fires very very close to our home in spain. We were not there at the time but it looked total devastation when we returned. Amazing what nature does though in a few years lots of it will nearly be back to normal. Lots of pine trees were destroyed but lots of new ones growing thank goodness.The worst is the poor people who have lost their homes, must be devastating to loose all.

Quite a contrast, Jan! Everything here in Georgia is so dry, it would not take but a spark to set all into a raging fire. 108 degrees today! Almost too hot to stay outside long, and the drought we are already in is just worsened by the intense heat. My prayers for those who have lost their homes in Colorado, and also for the safety of those fighting the blazes.
Hugs,
Angel

WOW What a gorgeous view. Now the smokey pic looks like Los Angeles smog or when fires are ripping accross our greenbelts. It is heartbreaking to see the devastation. So far we have had decent weather and several attempts of fires around our greenbelts but so far they have been quelched. However, its only the beginning of Summer so we may still have a
bad fire season but hopefully not.
Hugs

Thank you all for your concerns for our Colorado people, and support for us. It is basically no difference today. Soooo smoky, windy and dry. Keep safe everyone - there are fires in lots of places all over the country. I think there have been more than 500 homes burned now in the two biggest fires. Hugs and prayers for all the others, Jan
