Burning up!

As of this moment there are ten wildfires in my beautiful state, Colorado.  Two of them are in my backyard.  The Springer Fire had countless friends evacuated or on standby to evacuate.  It also had many friends working on the front lines.  The Waldo Canyon Fire is down the hill a bit and has evacuated the communities of Green Mountain Falls, Cascade, Chipeta Park and Manitou Springs as well as some parts of Colorado Springs.

The Waldo Canyon Fire erupted on Saturday and so far has spread to 2000 acres, evacuating many people including the entire city of Manitou Springs CO.

As I type this the town of Elbert has evacuated 100 residences due to a brush fire.  

We could really use some rain.  If you have a couple of extra moments today, keep us in positive thought and practice that rain dance.
