We've Been Lucky

It's a wildfire smoke day today.... we've been lucky to "get off easy" with this the last few years for sure.

It's a cooler day, forecasts calling for cloud cover and lower temps, which for me means windows open and getting cool air in.

But about half an hour ago (not long after ten am) the air coming in started to distinctly smell like smoke.  Campfire, wild fire smoke, to be specific.  

The "smoke forecasts" suggest this was going to happen but it's always a bummer when you notice it.

I've got my air purifiers on, but I'm wondering if I may have to close up my windows.  

I also turned off the bedroom fan that is right by the window pulling in air.  Probably not ideal to pull in unhappy air, you know?

There's talk of rain later this coming week and I hope it happens, especially where it's most needed to help with fire containment...

But yeah, I'm grateful I haven't had to deal with this for a while, while also bummed that I'm needing to deal with it today (or at all).
