Art, Horticulture & Fires

Nursekim is the artist in the family. This is my birthday present from her.

Remember my little African Violet that I was so excited to see a blooming flower on? Well, Just look at it now.

The house across the street from us caught on fire today. I heard an explosion and then screaming. Apparently her barbecue, at the back if the house had exploded (probably the propane tank). I can now see there is a hole in the roof where the firemen were trying to get to the fire in the attic. I feel so bad for the family. Thankfully, no one was hurt. Even their cat escaped unscathed.

Looking out the back of my house I can see plumes of smoke from the 5 hectare Dog Mountain Fire nearby. People in it's path have been evacuated. I hope they get that under control quick.

It's behind the antenna in the middle of the photo.

Me too. I was supposed to go to a knitting group but decided to stay home, just in case.

How lucky your neighbors escaped without injury. I love your birthday present -- it's lovely. What is a gucci neighborhood?

gucci neighbourhood = a neighbourhood where people who can afford to buy expensive luxury items live; ritzy; well to do.

Love your birthday present! FYI: I am afraid of fires.

And you've had temps over 36 C! There was a bush fire a few blocks from me in a gucci neighbourhood yesterday. The RN I was working with was freaking because her house is right at the burn area. It's okay now.

Today's forecast is for 37. With no sun, I don't know if that's gonna happen now. Anyway, no Craft Market for me today. I can't imagine being away from home and knowing it's in danger of being burned to the ground.
