FOREST FIRES AND CONNIE RIDING.

We had a little thunder storm go through Saturday night and now have 10 new fires in the Bitterroot.  The west is really burning up.  They can't find any more fire fighting resources and are thinking about asking Australia and New Zealand for help.  Our air quality is not so good.  But at least we are not having houses burned down like they are in our neighboring states.  Not good in Idaho and Washington right now.

Sunrise yesterday.

Looking southwest from the old fire pit.  You should be able to see mountains on the other side of the valley.

Sunset last night.  You can see a little bit of the mountains as some wind did clear out some of the smoke.

Connie had Stryder at a clinic Saturday..

Not only was it smoky, but there was a lot of dust in the arena.

She is so cute when riding her horses.

Our flowers are looking pretty good despite the smoke.
