Meet “Buzz”! Name approved by the Grands! 😂💕🦙
He’s requiring a bit of supportive care, but seems to be perking up nicely. Keep him and mom, Millie in your thoughts.

The anger is coming after the shock subsides. Anger that homes couldn’t be protected. It’s a miracle that no human lives were lost in the Complex fires.

As the mother of a firefighter who was deployed at a wildfire northwest of here for two weeks, away from his family, during the complex fire, firefighters who were here, are simply put, feeling the helplessness of what they had to endure protecting what they could without perishing, and guilt that they couldn’t do more in this perfect sh*tstorm.
For those criticizing decisions, there’s a reason no one perished.
Thank you firefighters for giving your everything. ❤️

Bob Loomis saw smoke in the distance early on the afternoon of Aug. 1. His inner alarm remained muted.

The harvest is almost done. Bundles are drying in the barn and the results of our 3rd distillation, by my beautiful friend, in the evacuation zone no less!, Maggie🥰,
Fleur de Provence Lavender, produced an amazing amount of pure, beautiful lavender oils for us in her still, “Big Bertha”. This was only our second year distilling, and we are so pleased with the entire season’s oil output by “Bertha”!! 🪻💕
