Please send a storm and some prayers

My beloved home state is burning as I type this. My cousins and friends are evacuated. More are scrambling to safety, letting their animals loose to give them a chance of survival. Homes are burning to the ground.Thousands of hundred plus year old oaks, acres of grasslands and chapparral are ash now. The sun is red.

A much-beloved local singer has died suddenly. We considered him our friend. He was playing around in the wilderness Sunday, fell and hit his head. Hundreds are mourning him. Dh and I are in mourning. We miss his bright energy, and his Robert-plant distinctive rocker voice, as well as the cascade of blonde curls he would toss when especially involved in a song.

Today my heart is heavy and full of anxiety.

Friends, please send us your well wishes, some rain-dances, storm thoughts, your prayers. 

Many thanks.

Clove, I am sorry to read your friend passed away over the weekend. Such a tragic accident.  My condolences to you and your dh. I could picture your friend in my mind with your discription. Thank you for that. May his memory be a blessing to you.

CA does need several good days of rain. It's hard to watch year after year the fires relentless destruction there. I hope your family is able to return to their homes intacted. Scary stuff.

Thumper. He was larger than life. Very distinctive. My husband saw him every day at work, and they would high-five...

Yes, very scary. And illegal pot growers down the coast are throwing rocks at firefighters...

Really sorry about your friend, that's awful. We have lightning strikes down here that keep setting off the fires and the smoke is pretty bad in our area. I just keep hoping for the rain as well.
