Uneasy Like Sunday


Hummmmmmmmmmmmmm, I see that fire is still burning. It looks bigger too.

They are evacuating people just up the road.



Well, they better not even THINK about asking me to move out!!!!!!



Oh Tillie,I don't think it will come to that!


The wind is blowing the fire away from us.





Helicopter & water bucket. The view from the front of our house.


The parking lot of the store just down the hill.


The roadblock was moved right here!!




Smoke across the lake. The fire trucks get water from here.


Close up.




In happy news,some of our early daylilies are blooming!!!!!!

Mom is happy and we are too!!

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!!!!!!!!!




Sadly,this fire has taken some houses on the other side of the lake.
The fire is 15km long and 3 km wide. (~ 9 mi x 2 mi). The wind has been a big problem.
The fire is still burning.

Oh Mickey, the day lilies are beautiful. And oh my goodness, the fire sounds so scary. We Ballicai will purr and purr and purr that it will be put out soon and you won't have to evacuate. Stay safe, my sweet friends! We'll be thinking about you.

Purrs and snuggles from Marilyn.

Oh my beloved Moonshine! I am terrified for your family and the cousins!! Fire is our greatest worry. Now you are in such danger. It can not be possible! I pray the winds die down and your beautiful island will return to peace soon. This is a most distressful time for you and a worrisome one for me. I see you are on the other side of the lake and that is some comfort.
I am so sorry for the homes that were lost. It is a tragedy but thankful that no lives have been lost.
Not an easy like Sunday morning kind of a day. Maybe you can gather up all the cats and come stay with me for a while. Moe and Mindy too please!!
I'll be waiting with the tea kettle on!
Love your Sunshine

We will keep purring that the fire is put out so you won't have to leave the comfort of your house but also that other kitties and beans are safe.

The wind is not strong today, we hope the fires will come under control soon. We are so thankful you are safe. We also feel bad for the people that lost their homes and the forest creatures that lost their homes and lives. Forest fires are scary.

Your beautiful day lily is so nice to see and such a lovely colour. We see that Mickey is keeping watch, he is a good mancat.

Hugs,
Mindy & Moe

Hello, Mickey. It is serious. Is it all right?
Japan was Father's Day, too. It is the happiness of the daddy that there are Natume and Monaka and Shimajiro and Uri.

Happy Fathers Day.

Please stay safe from the fire. We have lots of those here in California right now, and they are very scary.

Hopefully, the one near you will be contained soon. Sending good thoughts and purrs.
