California fires | The Fresh Loaf

I hope nobody will mind this off topic posting but I have been concerned about the members living in northern California where the fires are so dreadful - over 1,000 according to the news this morning. I hope you are safe and well, Rosalie and all the other TFL members, you are in my thoughts, A.

Where I live, in the Central Valley, we are not directly threatened by the fires, but the air is hazy and, some days, you can smell the smoke. We are threatened indirectly, but only when we breath.

of the biggest one. It isn't close enough to threaten my home (yet, knocks on wood) but the air smells like smoke and there is ash on my car. Thanks for your good thoughts.
