Billy Joe writes, "One of our Kentucky crew relaxing on top of his paper sleeping bag in the shade of a Chino State Prison Palm. Disposable paper sleeping bags are as much a staple on Western Fire Detail as toilet paper and fire retardant clothing! Most every fire camp would have a semi-trailer loaded with those sleeping bags. When sleeping on the ground at fire camp, you wanted one to sleep on and one to sleep in." Comments | Permalink Daffodil Watch 2026

Veronica writes, "These babies have been poking out already. I told them, 'too soon,'"' but daffodils are like kids on Christmas morning, bursting forth before Mom is even up. Mother nature is telling them to 'go back to bed, it's too early'. But they persist!" Comments | Permalink Warmer temp allowing this picture to change quickly

This February 1st photo shows what we'd spent the last week of January fighting, ice on everything. Today, Tuesday, February 3, 2026, we're over freezing and there's a whole lot of dripping and dropping noises making us smile. The question is whether the rain that's predicted to start after lunch will take the snow away. Comments | Permalink Older Photos
