Yes Yorkie, the smoke has actually been seen clear into San Diego.
Northridge is in the Valley but still would get plenty of smoke.

Today when I took daughter to school our cars were covered in ash. the drive up to Glendale towards the fire area brought “ showers” of ash.

Horse Shaking the apple tree

September
 
  1 The golden-rod is yellow;
2 The corn is turning brown;
3 The trees in apple orchards
4 With fruit are bending down.

5 The gentian's bluest fringes
6 Are curling in the sun;
7 In dusty pods the milkweed
8 Its hidden silk has spun.

9 The sedges flaunt their harvest,
10 In every meadow nook;
11 And asters by the brook-side
12 Make asters in the brook,

13 From dewy lanes at morning
14 The grapes' sweet odors rise;
15 At noon the roads all flutter
16 With yellow butterflies.

17 By all these lovely tokens
18 September days are here,
19 With summer's best of weather,
20 And autumn's best of cheer.

21 But none of all this beauty
22 Which floods the earth and air
23 Is unto me the secret
24 Which makes September fair.

25 'T is a thing which I remember;
26 To name it thrills me yet:
27 One day of one September
28 I never can forget.

Helen Hunt Jackson

Sorry that I messed it up the first time. :(

Your September Begins Graphic is sooo peaceful.

Thank you again and have a lovely day.

Hi, Meg. Thank you for your sweet compliment on the opening and your beautiful “September Song” illustration this morning. Hard to believe we’re in the last quarter of 2009 now.

Thank you, Polly. I'm glad you enjoyed the song and the graphic this morning.

Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers until these fires are all put out. Thank you for keeping us posted. Didn't you say two firemen were already killed? :(

Hi, jaycee - hope you’re much better now. NO stomach bugs are little though - upset tummies are such a miserable kind of lousy. :(

Good afternnon everyone, love the relaxing opener. We're still busy cleaning out my in-laws house, will be finished up with that project this week.

Our computer has a virus that has slowed everything down, convinced my DH to wait until after next week to have it looked at. I have some posts made up to post while Amy is gone and don't want to take a chance of being computerless.

Good afternoon, Aqua.
Great to see you this afternoon.
It seemed that it took me forever to clean out my Mom's house.
I know that you will be happy to get that finished.

NO! No, don't be computerless next week. LOL

Hope your afternoon is beautiful!

Amy, your birds are so, so beautiful - I love this mauve one! (These are not still reruns, are they? Cause I don't remember seeing them, and even if we have seen them before, they are still gorgeous!)

I'm listening to Willie again - just love that song. (I just love his voice - period!) Thanks for giving us fresh new threads every month!

Thank you for the compliments on the opening and the graphic with the man and his best friend fishing. :)

Deck the Halls With Boughs of Holly!

Maybe when we move next week we should just put up the Christmas decorations. :)

Thank you, Billie.

I love listening to Willie. Glad you didn’t post a YouTube. LOL

I made 4 new bird graphics and one get well graphic last night and this morning. The others are reruns.

I enjoy making them; I may take an afternoon off and just make graphics. It looks like I’m getting in a rut again.

Good afternnon everyone, love the relaxing opener.

Thank you, Aqua - it does look relaxing and inviting, doesh't it. (and apparently no mosquitos! That's nice!)

Our computer has a virus that has slowed everything down, convinced my DH to wait until after next week to have it looked at. I have some posts made up to post while Amy is gone and don't want to take a chance of being computerless.

Oh, no - I hope the virus doesn't spread and take over programs you need before you can get your pc cleaned up. We need you next week for sure; hopefully you won't have any bigger problems by waiting to get it checked out. :(

Oh, gosh, Dave - sure hope the test results show it’s NOT swine flu - surely it’s a good sign that his fever has gone down.
