Burning slash above Redfish


Just above Ed and Linda's house, across the lake from us, on Thursday


It started small , but ended up in a raging inferno in an area that had been logged last summer. I thought rage would surely take out every tree on the mountain,if it kept moving uphill at its present speed.

This is when a huge pile of slash was ignited. By nightfall, it looked as tho the whole mountain would burn up.
Fortunately, the big pile burned rapidly and the fire that seemed to be going straight up the mountain and into the trees,just subsidedinto a hot red glow by midnight. This morning it was still smoldering and tonight, there are only a few hot-spots left.

Coming home from work on Wednesday, I could this slash burning up the mountain above Sitkum creek. In total the forestry conducted three big burns over two days. This is to clear the forest floor of debris, to prevent a real fire from taking off, during the next dry season.

New Bling


A beautiful Cherry Amber ring...beautiful on a real finger, that is! There is also a matching pendant.. quite gorgeous! This pic doesn't do it justice.. It is bright like the last cherry ring.

Another ,in yellow amber...both are about $79. 00

This is a cute cherry amber

Not such a great pic, but shows three new cubic Zirconia rings...they are all shiny and nice...
The good news is that I took more ring pics today and will try to upload a few more. The amber jewellery has been flying out of the store already...

Halo Moon




If you were looking at the full moon last, you may have seen it get surrounded by a fluffy cloud that then started to glow with a rim of pink...very beautiful... We are also supposed to be in a good position to see Northern Lights over the next few nights...so look up!
I guess the sky has to clear up before we can see anything...it is drizzling out this morning! Have a nice day...and just as a ps...Correna's chow mein turned out fabulous! Way to go girl. Stay tuned for some of the new amber rings we received at the Bling shop!
