Smoke in the trees

It looks like it might be a nice day today as the sun is shining - I think. There is so much smoke in the air that the colour of daylight and sunshine is a pinky opaque ...almost. It is really weird. Last night at the dinner theatre, you could smell smoke in the room. Like something was burning in the kitchen! The river valley was filled with it - the open fields and treed areas appear like early morning fog. It's definitely not normal. They say it is from the forest fires in BC. Wow, I wonder what it is like right at the fire. I miss my blue sky - it is now kind of grey/blue.

We had intended to go to Bonnyville for the horse trail ride but weather there is raining and muddy. Again, weird for this time of the year. This whole month has been on the (can I say it again?) weird side!

The grandkids are over at their cousins for a sleepover again so it is quiet this morning. Nice...but I miss them. They are going to go to the farm on Sunday to just visit but since I work Mon I won't go with them. Alone again.

As I write this I can smell smoke. Didn't I just say that it is really smokey here? Well, it continues to be so. I hope the wind changes direction soon.
