even though life for us and people we know has returned to normal (i have been back to work since thursday), the wildfires are still burning in the county. the harris fire is about 70% contained, and the witch fire almost 90%. there are still 3 other fires burning in the county, and since the Santa Ana winds are expected to pick up again within the next couple of days the fire department is still on heightened alert. i took the picture above last friday while driving towards the wild animal park. neighborhoods that have experienced damage from the fires are generally inaccessible by people not directly affiliated with those (home owners, security personnel, contractors).
one of our pumpkins withered away during the heat created by the Santa Ana winds over the last couple of weeks. i guess we started the carving too early. luckily, there are 2 more pumpkins out on the porch ready to be turned into jack o' lanterns. J enjoyed the halloween parade at his friend's house, along with all the good food and games. a good ending to a week that did not start that great at all.
