We have had 18 fires burn across the state now for several days. Smoke causes hazy sun rises and sun sets. But today was the first day I was up early and tasted the ash in the air. The sun rose as a red ball diffused by clouds. This fire is closeby, near Benson and close to Texas Canyon and is called the Walnut Fire. The interstate east of Benson at Dragoon Road is closed all the way to US181 because the fire jumped the highway.
We desperately need rain, but no rain is forecasted until next week, although Wednesday may bring some showers.
