HOT TIMES

The current mood of greenwitch at www.imood.com

moon phases

It's 80 degrees out!!

The flip side of that wonderful news is that it hasn't rained much around here in months and around 1000 acres of the catskill park is burning. I went over the mountain the other day and saw the smoke just hanging over this HUGE area. It has been windy and dry for too long. The fire was burning so aggressively it jumped a creek.

Years ago I lived on the edge of another state park and there were many many fires. Mostly set off by fireworks and tossed cigarette butts during a drought. We breathed in smoke for at least a month and everything held that smell for alot longer. It was eerie to hike through the burned sections of the park afterwards. What was left was skeletal and blackened. Then, occassionally, an intact tree stood mysteriously untouched.
