We had an exciting Saturday afternoon in mid-May when high winds downed a power line just up the road from us. There had been little precipitation and the downed line ignited the brush just over the ridge, only a few hundred yards from our house. We were happy to see the impressive response from at least two fire stations. There was a larger fire in another neighborhood across town that was started in the same way, at the same time. It's nice to know that there are enough engines and manpower in town to respond to two potentially serious fires.
A look down the power line towards the fire. The lower access road was filled with another half dozen trucks and engines.
Another fire? Nope, that's just Max firing up the boat after its long winter rest.
The morning after the fire was clear, warm, and smoke free - a beautiful day for boating on the river. Kieran was even more excited about the boat this year than last. He takes driving very seriously.
Rachel came along for the ride. What a great day!
The unseasonably warm temperatures and sunny skies in April and May made for a quick green-up this year. It's always special to see green leaves out in the yard after many months of white.
