the winds are dying down for now........

we live in Orange County, CA, and yesterday was a worrisome day- the firestorms were so dreadful and so much property was lost-

for the first time, our area was slightly threatened- but enough that my logical thinking husband said that we should get our needed items ready, if we had to evacuate. That frightened me almost more than the fires.....and he's the one recovering from strokes!

everything is covered with ash, and embers were flying for miles, but since the wind has died down, for now- hopefully the firefighters will get more control. So many fires...
