Smokey skies

A wildfire broke out yesterday in Cannanea, Sonora, a mining town 25 miles south of the border. Our prevailing northeastern winds are B rising smoke up our way. Today was our second hazy day, trapping the stifling 90F over us.

We now have a 44% chance of rain on June 1st.

This morning I took Zana on a 4mile walk on State Trust land.  Its a mile to the trailhead. We entered by the dry pond and walked westward on the ATV trail. We passed several black Angus who stared us down. Zana didn't even provoke a chase! She is such a good hiker when it's just her as she stays close by my side.

We rested by an illegal shooting range by a wash before turning around. There were a lot of abandoned shell casing there.   I picked up some brass to recycle later. I will go by there again another time and pock up the trash.

It was already in the 70s when we got back home at 820 am.

Jody came by at 230 to put the posts in the ground and fill in cement. She will come by Friday to put the fencing up. I  can't wait. I hope this 6' fence will end the dogs getting out and upsetting my neighbors across the street.
