@Anonymous , Right now, Willie Mae isn't talking to me. 😾 I accidentally stirred up some wasps and she was lounging on a chair on the deck. All of a sudden, she took off. I didn't think any got her, but she definitely got all huffy-puffy.

The Canadian wild fire smoke is an issue here in Southern Wisconsin.

Local fires are also an issue here because of idiots that are careless with camp fires when camping or burning off fields. We are very dry due to limited rain for weeks.

55* and raining today and perhaps for the next week. Still get nervous when ai smell smoke after last year’s Forest fires started by dimwits in NH campground. Yeah we have them as well, Dave. Least I don’t need to put the AC in the window yet👍That’s a plus.And the rains are keeping our fire danger down.

In lighter news I’m taking a trip down the Star Trek rabbit hole, courtesy of YouTube Paramount Plus

Free for now.

That link should take anyone to Season 1 Episode 1 of Star Trek:Strange New World, think even non-sci-fi types might enjoy this show.** well is was a good idea but, it will take you to the main Star Trek page🤣🤣 where you can find S1E1, guess link changes each day.

Gotta go, time to return calls to cousins in Nova Scotia, PEI and Quebec provinces.

Hey "Smokey" I sorry! 😔

On the "serious" side @catwoman500 , I didnot know this was started by "irresponsible" humans. Had NOT been aware of this drama until Ms. Stretch @MsStretch mentioned it. Yikes!!!

Thanks, Nicole

We are looking at the possibility of some meaningful amounts of rain over this weekend. This will be a very helpful rain when it comes to the growth of many crops like sweetcorn, field corn and peas.

Wheat and hay are important when it comes to our dairy cattle.

Hoping everyone has a restful weekend.

Remember our troops stationed over sea's.

The air is noticeably clearer today. We have been downgraded to Code Yellow. There were no extended walkabouts with the furkids🐈yesterday (except for necessary pee breaks).

@Anonymous , it is wildfire season. Wildfires are burning longer and hotter because of human-accelerated climate change.

Second @MsStretch

On climate change helping to spread or start the fires, last year some parts of Canada hit 120* , about the same temp as Death Valley.

Making forests and plains a tinderbox. One of the fires was sparked by lightning, another by sparks from train, cigarette butt out a window, and the rest are still under investigation.

Of 13 Provinces there are 6 with fires, due to climate change, abnormally low snow totals or rain.

And I think some have been burning for last 6 weeks, burning millions of acres.

With hotter temperatures comes more lightning strikes and dryer grasses or trees. One of many reasons for US to send assistance in fighting the fires, we do have a pretty long border with Canada.

And I wouldn’t be surprised to see MX sending aid, at some point.

Now it’s off to clean house May have visitors in form of cousins from NS or Quebec coming next week if it gets to smoky for them or they need to evacuate.
