See how foggy it looks?
It's smoke from the bushfires burning about and hour and a half to the east of us. (Between us and Sydney)
Bushfire season has come early this year.
Most of the 90 fires have been contained, but not before burning out about 200 properties just in the one bushfire closest to us.
Unfortunately the weather is supposed to get hot and windy again in the next few days. The fire fighters are expecting more fires.
We feel so sorry to all those peeps and animals who have lost their homes, and worse, lives.
We're just glad we only have to put up with smoke.
It didn't keep us from exploring.....
or rolling..
And wrestling...
And telling off peep who dare use OUR river!
Or snack time....
We hope the weather peeps are wrong and maybe we'll have some rain.
Later: Doesn't look like it. The tv is sending messages to people in certain areas telling them to leave, and where the refuges are.
Tomorrow is supposed to be hotter than today.

Are these the fires they think the army started ? It's been in the news here !
ReplyDeleteThey think the biggest one was started by the army... *shakes head*
DeleteThose fires are terrifying. Stay safe and jump in the lake if you have to

We have been reading about the fires in the newspaper. We said it was early for them to start as it is usually mid Summer. Hope they keep them contained and everyone is okay including all the animals that live there.
ReplyDeleteThat lake looks just right for a dip!

Good to see you girls keeping cool.
ReplyDeleteWe had smoke yesterday too, but we think it came from Canberra (they were burning off). It's gone today.
Canberra? Maybe it will burn some sense into the politicians. Maybe that's not possible.

How tragic. I didn't know. Glad you all are okay!
ReplyDeleteIt has been on OUR news and we are Worried about YOU and Dougall and Floyd and Stella and Rory and our furend Barb and her TobY. Barb sent us a MAP of where the major fires are located. She also said that she had no electric for 6 hours due to the power company putting something on the WIRES to keep them from touching and sparking during the WIND.
ReplyDeleteWE are praying very much hard for RAIN for you and all of NSW.
We are so glad that you were able to get to the river fur some fun. Love those pictures.
We are sending good thoughts and hoping everyone stays safe. Lee and Phod

I heard about the fires on the news here this evening. Like you, we hope that those who are affected by the fires are finding safety and comfort--You all stay safe too!!
ReplyDeleteYou guys be careful. I can't imagine what it would be like to live in a fire area. I would be really scared. We will be praying for you to get lots of rain. I thought there was a alligator in that photo where you are climbing on the log...silly me!
ReplyDeleteThe news of the fires have made their way to Canada. We're glad you are ok, but are sending those who are losing their homes our thoughts.
ReplyDeleteDougall told us of the dangerous fires that are happening in your part of the world...scary. Good job telling the people to get off your river they should know better.
ReplyDeleteAroo to you,
