On the bright side, if there is one. My garden is covered with wood ash.
Should have good flower colors this spring.

Howdy All,

On our news here we've been seeing the dreadful fire storms hitting parts
of California. Particularly concerning to some of us here in Canberra,
Australia where last summer our city lost around 400 houses in a single day
to a freak fire storm. Thankfully ours was only a single day whereas
reports are that the Californians are expecting the same weather conditions
for the next 4 days or so (Ouch!!) and they've already lost more than 500
houses and climbing all the time.

This message is just to wish all the best to those on the list who are
anywhere near the fires. Here's hoping that none of us are affected too
badly.

Cheers.
