As I came home today, I noticed once again smoke and fire on the hillside west of our house. Yesterday the area to the right of this fire was burned. I think this is being done as a prevention process?? However neither yesterday’s nor today’s newspapers had anything to say about any controlled burns being conducted to reduce the threat of an out-of-control fire. This would be the right time of the year to burn off undergrowth that might fuel a fire later in the summer.

It looks like we’ve finished a series of storms coming in from northern California. Bright, sunny days are forecast until the weekend with temperatures in the lower 50’s. This could definitely cause the grass to start waking up! I think I need to go find the crabgrass control to put on the yard. Maybe that’s a Saturday activity? We’ll see.
