Seems like each year we have lived in this area, we are visited by smoky skies, this time of year. This year is no different. We have enjoyed a very wet Spring and Summer - wettest in a long time. EVERYTHING is growing. Wildflowers are prolific! No fires nearby, but the winds bring the smoke down through the valleys that lead to this area - and the front range air quality is beyond bad. Hope some rainy weather helps put out some of these fires or at least helps the firefighters get a grip on what is burning. Climate change is a happening thing.
