We've had some fires around here, as well as getting smoke from the Arizona fires! Love the photo of the bluejay. I used to see them at my grandmother's in Oregon all the time, but I'm not sure we even have them in Colorado. I need to look it up! I've certainly never seen one around here. I hope you guys get some rain and can pull through the drought.<br /><br /><a href="http://kmdlifeisgood.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow"> Tina @ Life is Good</a><br />and I are joining forces in another challenge.

Even the might cypress along the river banks are showing signs of stress.<br /><br />Send that rain this way Vijaya. We'll take all that you can give us!<br /><br />CR, the weather does seem to have its knickers in a twist these days. At least here, we are safe from tornadoes.<br /><br />No doubt about a drought here Rebecca. The weather people are calling it an "exceptional" drought.<br /><br />Ah Tricia...the critters are taking it on the chin along with trees and plants.<br /><br />Suzanne, I used to be terrified of spiders, as close to phobic as I suppose one can get without being absolutely over the edge. Anyway, got over it, desensitized myself. The tarantula in the picture was probably (with legs stretched out) about the size of my hand, 4 to 5 inches across. Not a really big one, but not small either.Bish Denhamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13359927719391990534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8433839509609523237.post-35910068141229675882011-06-14T14:30:41.093-05:002011-06-14T14:30:41.093-05:00Wow.

Farmers have been told to stop watering their fields which is going to have a knock on effect on their livelihoods and the produce, but it's not filtered through there. You'd think with a planet filled with water they would have figured out a way to sort this problem by now wouldn't you.
