keeping up with watering the garden sometimes seems secondary when you see the water bombers flying overhead.  with the recent tragedy in Arizona,  i’m reminded of all the folks who face danger in the forest and in the air when the temperature rises.

today the bombers are doing practice runs, circling between the mountain and dropping in to hope’s grass strip airport. we also have a camp in hope, the Haig Fire Base  has four, three-person initial attack crews and one 20-person unit crew who are ready to do what’s needed to fight fires.
