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.

Smoky Living

Good to read you've had rain there. Happy Wildflowers!
Here in Vermont, despite rain, the drought is not over. Last I heard there were a few inches to go. The smoky skies from wildfires reached us a few weeks ago. One day it was so thick, you could barely see the outline of the mountains.
Amazing that it makes it all the way across the country to you, hoping for clearer skies.
