Nice peaceful scene. I could use that right now. There is a fire out where my daughter lives. It started at about midnight and by 4:00 a.m. it was at 4500 acres. She has been evacuated. We know a home nearr hers burned but have no word on hers. There is hope she had enough defensable space around it to protect it but just don't know. Please pray.
Praying for your daughter and her neighbors. What a scary place to be.

It is just after noon right now. I have just seen pictures. Everything around her house has burned but her house has not been touched! The fire literally went all around her. Talk about a miracle. Thank you for the prayers. Our God is a wonderful God

He sure is! Still praying. I know there are a lot of puzzlers who never post, but they are praying as well.

Wish there were some way I could show you the devestation all around her house and hers just sitting there. It does appear to be slightly tilted but like I said before, she did not lose all of her precious memories. Her father passed recently and his stuff is especially precious right now. Thank you all for you prayers.

Update: the winds have changed and the fire has turned back to where it had already been. Please pray it continues to leave their house alone.

Several States are sending fire fighters to this area. I know Arizona has. Prayers for safety for all concerned.

They were able to go into the fire area today.The house is still standing! They were able to bring a few things out but need to wait for it to be more thoroughly cleared of hazardous conditions before they can do too much. At least they know they have not lost everything they own. God is so good!

What a relief! I'm so happy for you all. They are very blessed, so many people lost so much.
Has anyone here seen "Before the Flood"? One fact I learned from it is that "Cows continuously emit methane, a greenhouse gas 23 times more potent than carbon, as they go about their days." I hadn't realized the severe impact cattle have on global warming and climate change. I highly recommend the movie.
Pretty picture. Trying to get things done for my trip to Ct tomorrow. Have talked to "cat" carer since I had to change where the cat litter box, etc had to be. One of my back door windows shattered so confining cats to the front part of the house. Getting hair done in an hour and then back home to finish all the little details and pack my "carry-on" bag for trip.
I can't remember where I heard them--some movie or video I guess--but I was captivated by the lovely sound of many cow bells ringing.
The cow is not one of my favorite animals to look at. They are rather boxy and seem clumsy although their coloring can be nice--especially the gurnseys. Please, any of you who have raised calves, don't be offended.
Wishing you a day of nothing offended or offensive.
Nope not offended at all. One person did say something to me on a social media and thought it was offensive. I think that's a brown swiss cow. Gurnseys have a white and brown coloring.

I didn't mean the puzzle was a gurnsey. I was just making a comment on cows in general. You probably know much more than I do about cow breeds, carol. I could not have id'd this one.
God bless you all.
