Crosho Fire from our back porch early morning.

Crosho Fire Update

Crosho Fire Update

We watched the fire all day.

Closed all the windows to keep any smoke out.

But we watched and thankfully, we didn’t see much change.

Early afternoon, we saw a plane headed that direction.

By late afternoon, It was shifting some.

A little to the right,

Then to the left.

A little farther back,

Then a move closer.

Blue sky.

Dark sky.

We slept with the windows closed.

Something I don’t like to do except when its colder than freezing.

This morning, I woke up to Al’s voice. “Bitsy, come see the fire!”

And this, this is what I saw at 5:00.

Such a dichotomy. Both eerily beautiful and terribly frightening.

By the time I got to the front of the house, 30 minutes had passed, and it looked different again.
