Well I hope it doesn't affect our day trip to. Mt Capulin today. Gonna see if the ladybugs are still there.
We haven't been there in about 30 years.

Nothing is going to burn in this part of the southwest. It is the wettest it has been for many years. There is a big, noisy thunderstorm passing just to the west of me right now, one to the north, another just to the southeast, and more predicted for today. Next spring it may be a different story with all the growth from this so far very wet summer but we are safe for now.

Edited to add: The rain has made it here now. The wind has switched to where it's coming onto the patio and I am going in the house as it has become too chilly to be comfortable.
