Burns Burns Burns, that Ring of Fire...

This year the first fire of the season has landed itself only about 10 miles north of our house. Please don't freak out. Ten miles goes a long way here in the Valley. It has already been contained and we are in no danger. But I could see these billowing clouds of red smoke from our house and could smell the familiar smell, like it was just people burning their yard debris and waste.
