The smoke from the wild fires has plagued our area for days.
“God help them fight the fire and bring a wind to blow the smoke away!”
A new smoke alert sounded, I notice our county is not mentioned. Hopeful, I walk outside to check my peas and raspberries. Thankfully the air is good and I decide to work outside.
Picking peas was easy but, my raspberries are a mess.
I have a God thought: Less is more.
With emotional ties to the raspberries, I try a new thing. I cut branches with tiny fruit and it opened up space to let air in to dry.
I hear thunder! “Time to head in, but let me get just a bit more.”
Thunder a second time. “OK, I’m heading in.”
Checking the radar it looks like the rain is an hour away so I decide to run. Listening for thunder and not hearing any I run three miles.
The sun has not set it’s time to weed the flowerbed. Noticing pink in the clouds, 
I head to the cemetery for sunset pictures and I notice the smoke returning to the area.
“Thank You God for the thunder that stopped my weeding and clearing the rain so I could run breathing good air.”
