Here is why the fires are so wild here....this is a pic of our back yard....or what is left of it. The front looks like this as well. We are watering only once a week, but so hot and dry....not helping!
These 2 pictures are of the fire smoke coming from Bastrop. I was sitting out on our back porch when taking these pictures.
The helicopters were flying overhead hauling water to dump on the fires. I snapped these from the porch. If you click on the pics you can get a close up view
On a lighter note...here is Ethel taking a nap with her dad....he's asleep in his chair and she is asleep on the floor.
And then we have "Bad Kitty". Lucy thinks it is ok, and actually her place to lay on the table, on top of the paper while I am having my coffee and trying to read the paper. She doesn't even budge when I get the camera out and start clicking away! Is this because she is a bad kitty.....or because I am a bad momma!!!!!!
And lastly we have Miss Kitty. She was out on the porch while I was taking some pics and I caught her relaxing. She is such a sweetie....beautiful black fur and golden yellow eyes......
Good Tuesday morning to one and all. I hope that you all had a wonderful, relaxing and safe Labor Day weekend. The Moon household was quiet - which was very nice. I had my friend Tina come over on Mon. and we played out in the shop and learned a new project so we can get a jump start on gift making. I also want to thank you all for the calls of concern regarding the fire in Bastrop. It has been really bad, but we are safe. I have not heard the news today to know if it is under control. The news comes on at 11 so I will be listening. As of 10:30 last nite it was not under control - as reported it was 0% contained. There were so many fires around here and in the state of Texas. the news reported that over the weekend firefighters had responded to 63 separate fires in Texas. With everything so dry here.....just one tiny spark and a fire is raging. You saw the pics above that were taken Mon. afternoon. It looked like the whole city of Bastrop was on fire. The news reported last nite that 25,000 acres had been burned up to then and 476 homes had been burned. Schools were closed in Bastrop and several in the Austin and surrounding area due to fires. We are getting ready for our trip to Ga. So excited. Our neighbor's son is coming over everyday to take care of kitties. He won't ever see them, but he can feed them and clean out litter box. I like having him come that way someone is in the house everyday making sure all is ok. Hope everyone has a great week. To our family....will see you next week! Hug those near. Love, Ken and Glynda
