FIRE SEASON.

FIRE SEASON HAS BEGUN.  It has become very official that fire season is now here and in full swing.  Brian is currently at the Gladiator Fire in Arizona, which is only one of the many current forest fires.   It is safe to say I spend a lot of time refreshing the website that allows me to get updates on the fires.  It is up to 13,000 Acres and only 10% contained.  With the fire growing everyday, I know the crew will not be back for a while.  I have been doing my best to stay busy and keep distracted!  My new job has helped a lot and I really enjoy being around the few people I work with.  It is a local outdoor sports shop in the plaza downtown.  I have gotten to update a couple of the window displays and have two more larger ones I am currently brainstorming about.  Also, I have been very thankful to have  met Natalie (a fiance) and Caitlin (a Wife) of two of the guys on the crew.  On my day off, we took a trip to the RIO GRANDE, a river about 30 minutes away.  They brought their doggies and we walked along side of the river while they played in the water.  The scenery was beautiful and the weather was perfect (which I have learned, is not surprising in Santa Fe). 

Again, I took pictures of this adventure but my camera is not super fancy so it does not fully capture the BEAUTY of Santa Fe.

The Rio Grande has been added to the list of places I will take Bri after the fire season.  I am so glad to be able to continue to explore Santa Fe!
