We went hiking over the weekend at Kamiak Butte! We were going to get an early start and beat the heat but that didn’t happen. Mom’s excuse: “everything takes longer than I think it will”. You can see that the wheat fields are very dry this time of year!It was so great to see BLUE sky! The local wildfires have been contained which is a huge relief and most of the smoky air has cleared out.Today is national Bow Tie day! We could not find my favorite color red bow tie mom says I need to keep my things better organized but really mom FORGOT where she put it.
We went to the MAC museum to see the Wyeth exhibit again before it ends, but there was “A Situation” at the museum and no one could go in. So we walked around the neighborhood which is called Browne’s Addition where there are some amazing houses! An hour later some fire trucks came and went but we were still not allowed in the museum and they never told us what was happening it was a secret so we gave up waiting and went grocery shopping.Some of the houses are really old but still beautifully maintained.And this house! When we were looking for a house to buy this was one we considered, It’s so gorgeous but we decided not to buy it. Once in a while we drive past it and stop to admire it.There are several wildfires in the area and LOTS of smoke. We cannot see across the valley. A couple of weeks ago there was a wildfire a few miles away and we were packing getting ready to evacuate but the wonderful fire-fighting planes did a great job and we did not have to leave – whew! Now there is a big fire at Medical Lake and the entire city had to evacuate! Medical Lake is about 20 miles from where we live and I worry about all the wild animals, livestock, and pets. Tigers especially. There was also the devastating wildfire on Maui and it is all so sad.We have another adult foster cat! Her name is Pigeon which is a silly name for a cat – we are going to think up a better one. But it is funny because we have another foster cat named Birdie!
