Fire and Wildlife

There is a fire burning in the mountains around Golden.  Its been named the Indian Gulch Fire (see article).  While in church my friend's husband (Fire Chief Miller) got a call that there was an emergency.  My friend needed a ride home so of course it was no problem.  We first stopped by House on the Hill  where we could see the fire.  We stood in the street, held hands and prayed.  Your prayers would be much appreciated.  Here are some pictures of what we saw of the Indian Gulch fire which is still burning.

This is what we could use right now...SNOW!  This is a picture from our last snow.  The deer came down from the top of the mesa.

We've been putting seed out to attract birds and squirrels for the kitties to watch.  Those squirrels are very entertaining critters.

In other news, Mark got a surprise at work.  It is his 15 year anniversary.  Yeah!  The company was very generous and gave him a $500 gift certificate.  The Lord is so good!!
