Mike and I came to town yesterday afternoon. In this morning's Lewiston Tribune we read about the fire on Russell Ridge involving the Praest family and threatening Little Canyon. We have tried to call neighbors for information without success -- busy or no answer. Official online fire sites indicated a 350-acre fire would be contained today. So, because of business here in town, we decided to press on, complete our list of activities, and get back to the farm as soon as possible -- probably tomorrow evening or Thursday morning. I visited with Leroy Praest a couple of weeks ago and at that time he said it was the driest July he has ever seen. He expressed his concern about the fire danger. He added, however, that rain now would not be good because of the approaching harvest. Our "lawn" on the farm is dry and brown.
Mike and I are both enjoying this blog. We have appreciated hearing from many of you -- either by means of comments or by email.
