It’s been a wild week here in Southern Oregon. Monday a major fire erupted in Ashland, Oregon, and by that afternoon there was a major fire going in Medford, just north of Ashland!
Amazingly, though the fires were big, only one home burned, and it was unoccupied. On top of that, nobody was hurt! A big thanks go out to the firefighters, who did such a great job!
Now that the fires are under control, we can breath a sigh of relief…but we can’t breathe, as the smoke is pretty bad still. I’ll take smoke over fire any day though.

Thanks for the round up. Hope everyone is ok after the fires.
Hey, we don’t want Oregon to burn like California!
