Miserable summer weather

As you know already, summer is not my favorite season. It's just way too hot, and today is no exception. Here is my atomic clock right now......ugh!!

Unfortunately because of the fires and smoke this summer it has really been limiting our outdoor activities. The air quality, especially in the Auburn/Colfax area, is the worst some people have ever seen. It's so unhealthy they are telling people to stay inside. Luckily none of us are asthmatic or have breathing problems, that would be really bad. It does make it hard to splash around and cool off in the pool though when you're sitting inside!!!

The one benefit of all this smoke would have to be the sunrises and sunsets. They are gorgeous! Here is the sunrise from my bedroom yesterday morning.I'd happily give them up though if we could get all the fires around the state put out and get this smoke out of here. It would make for a much more enjoyable summer for all of us (especially the firefighters and people living in the affected areas)!
