Thank you!



I came across these beautiful flowers and thought I would share them today. I wanted to say thank you to everyone who has sent their well-wishes and kind thoughts! The fire seems to be dying down a little bit. Yesterday the air was much clearer, so we are all hoping for the best. Interestingly, and quite sadly, the fire has now been labelled an arson. Because two firefighters were killed trying to fight this fire, it will be investigated as a homicide. The fire has cost $37 million to fight thus far. For more information check out THIS article from the LA times. I hope you are all doing well and that you have a great Labor Day Weekend!!

  1. I especially like the second photo, with the way the light is shining through the flowers. It's lovely.

    $37 million for a fire started by arson?! :( How sad, and another financial burden is not what CA needs. Not to mention those 2 fireman... How wasteful in every way.

    They're both beautiful, though.

    Glad to hear the fire situation is improving. That is so frightening. And the firefighters are true heroes.

  5. Beautiful rose Ashley.

    Sad news about the firemen. My brother is a firefighter over here, so I understand what a tough, heroic job they do. I hope the people responsible are soon brought to justice.

  6. A wildfire is one thing, but arson is horrible. There is no excuse for something like that. I hope they catch whoever did it.

  11. I can't imagine what would motivate someone to start a forest fire. So tragic the two firefighters lost their lives. I'm relieved the fire is more under control and the smoke is clearing. Fires are one thing I don't miss about living in the San Fernando Valley, another is earthquakes. Take care and have a great week!
