Wednesday: Park Day!

You would never know that the county is on fire from these photos taken at the park in our small town, to the east of the fires.



We met Sheri and her kids over at the park for lunch. They were also taking a break from homeschooling; we feel as though our kids are the only ones in the county "in school" during this horrendous week. Schools throughout the county have been canceled until Monday, from private preschools to the universities.



I feel almost guilty in enjoying the beautiful Indian Summer weather this week when there is death, fire, and destruction just thirty miles away in San Diego and while so many of my friends are evacuated, and some dear friends of the family lost their home to the fires. This tree in the park is showing its colors against a gorgeous blue sky, free from the smoke and ash that covers the rest of the county.
