Feeling fortunate

With the devastating wildfires happening around this state, I feel very thankful that my home is not anywhere in the path of fires spreading faster than the firefighters can keep up with.  I worry for the folks who are displaced, evacuated, and in fear of losing their homes, livestock.  I hope for all the wildlife in the path of the fires a safe escape from harm. I mourn for all of the vegetation lost only to have to start again from mere seedlings.

I am grateful to be safe and wishing a quick end to the raging fires.
