Water Canyon and Blue Skies
Finally, finally, after enduring hazy, smoky skies for the past couple of months we have had beautiful blue skies for more than two days in a row! The wind blows the smoke from those darn California wildfires over the mountains to us. Last Friday we took a little drive as a family and I just […]
