Smoke in the Air

October 14, 2017 by admin

Up here in Northern California, we've been under a cloud of smoke for a week from the fires in Napa and Sonoma. Horridly beautiful colors in the sky. Ash descending on our cars. Burning in the back of our throats. I am miles away and outside of the reach of the fire itself, but the smoke and ash fill my days now.
