Back on march 31st, we had a bit of a fire nearby… A fire that caused about a dozen homes to be evacuated while the local fire department spent most of a day containing it.
The little wooded area out in front of my house was looking pretty rough for quite a while, but while I was out on my walk today I noticed things were pretty much back to normal…
I think most of the regrowth has been do to how wet it’s been the last few months; right now it’s easy to forget eastern Colorado is a desert.
Normally by mid June we’re already seen temperatures approach 100 degrees and we’re living under a perpetual wildfire warning, but this year we’re not cracked the mid-80’s yet and there’s a flood watch until Tuesday night.
I’ll take it.
This is a cyclical thing though. Every ten years or so we get one of these cool and wet spells – which is just occasional enough that everyone forgets about the last one and freaks out because it’s raining. 🙂
