Today

I am sitting here today wondering if what I see is what others see, or am I seeing what others see. This seems a little confusing, but this day has been confusing. We have had a fire just outside of the town where I live, that has spread to 15 acreas. When I look towards the sky, all I see is a gray blue, that covers the awsome blue that was there yesterday. I think of all the small animals that in fear either froze in place ,or ran for their lives away from the heat and flames. I wish that yesterday was hear again, so I would not have to think about such things, but in this life we face today everyday. The smoke from the fire has covered the mountains that stand as sentinals against the beyond that I cannot see, but on this side it is dry and hazy. We have our sprinklers in the fields going and around the house we are keeping damp, but because we live at the edge of where the forest and desert meet,there is alway a chanch of a fire close by. It has been a year of heat and dry weather that is prone to wild fires. I called my sister today to see if she was OK, but she was not home. Isn't it funny how we always call our loved ones when there is danger near by? The nice thing about today is barbeque
