Greetings mutuals. Happy #HumpDay for those still doing the 9-5 daily grind. Here in southern #Oregon we’re having some much needed rain and cooler temps - very welcome. It definitely feels like Autumn is on the way, even this early in September. I have no doubt we’ll have some ‘Indian Summer’ after this respite. My neighbors and I in the #RogueValley are wondering what the ‘super El Niño’ has in store for us this late Fall and Winter. Predictive climate models put us right on the border of ‘higher precipitation’ and ‘continued drought’ - so it could go either way. Should be interesting; a real climate anomaly that may test previous records. I’ll be reporting regularly on our weather, and I’m interested in your impressions from your regions - so let’s keep this conversation going over the next months. #Climate #ElNino #weather #SouthernOregon

#Wildfire about 35 miles away in #SouthernOregon. Smoke has filled the #RogueValley so we’re staying inside and have our two air purifiers on high. It’s bad. 1,400 wild land and structure defense firefighters at our ‘fire camp’. We’ve got one very large air tanker (VLAT), 3 LATs, and multiple helicopters attacking from the air, and dozers on the ground. Fire’s at 13,000 acres with only 5% containment. New spot fires at the perimeter keep popping up and demanding resources. This is gonna be a long fire fight. What’s really disturbing is how this has become our new normal in #Oregon. We’ve been here long enough to know it wasn’t always this way. Now, every summer is full of lightning- and human-caused wildfires - and smoke, so much nasty smoke. I read that before #ClimateChange, lightening would strike in moist, well-hydrated forests that resisted fire. But now, with #GlobalWarming and #drought our forests are dry tinderboxes, stripped of their former natural resistance. #environment #ClimateCrisis #fire

Fire season has hit #SouthernOregon and #NorthernCalifornia hard this last week. Currently we have four smallish fires burning; and being attacked with dozers, heli’s and air tankers, in my region. A couple within 25 miles. And I suspect it will only get worse as we head into Summer. Today was triple digit temps with light winds, and it is dry as the desert. I shudder to think what August will be like. #PNW #Oregon #WildfireSeason #Wildfires

"Under a lawsuit settlement reached last year, Grants Pass must provide space for 150 homeless people."

"141 people are on the waitlist …
People who are medically fragile or disabled will receive priority placement."

#Wildfires season has already started in Oregon and California. Close to me in #SouthernOregon there are fires in Klamath County and just across the #California border in Shasta and Siskiyou Counties. Tankers and heli’s in the air. And in #SouthernCalifornia there are 44,000 residents of Simi Valley that have had to evacuate their homes. And that fire is only 5% contained. Dry conditions, humidity in the teens, and strong winds create a real firestorm situation. Hard to fight. Now, take a look at the profound drought in the #Southeast US, Florida, Georgia and the Carolinas. This Summer is gonna be lit, and not in a good way. Maybe the predicted super #ElNino will come to the rescue? 🌧️ #fire #environment #ClimateChange #drought

Nice day in the Rogue Valley. Regular winds have cleared the atmosphere & Spring is in full bloom. We’re busy in our deer-fenced garden; weeding, planting, tending to existing plants & drip systems, fending off an army of ground squirrels…the usual. In addition to routine Spring chores on rural #PNW acreage; mowing the pasture, beating back invasive blackberries, tending to the chickens, pigs and goat. Two shots attached: The Rogue Valley from my back porch veranda; and, a shot from said veranda down to our deer-fenced garden. More to come as the season progresses.

NOTE: I should express my recognition and gratitude for the privilege of living in abundance and beauty on colonized Native American land. I also am mindful of the relative safety, security and peace of my surroundings, when many in the world are not safe, secure and at peace. I continue to keep the people of Ukraine, Gaza and Sudan in my thoughts and on my boost list, and I donate when I can afford to.
