I know sometimes this is the last thing we think about. But I've been thinking about it since the very beginning when I was standing in my driveway and the fire was coming over the ridge at the top of church street and all I saw were the deer that usually roam the neighborhood running in fear. The turkey vultures that live in the trees of the yellow house were flying around in a panic. Sometimes they don't get away, they don't have the reasoning like we do so they just get stuck and it breaks my heart. I hate every inch of it and I can't get it out of my head. Our wild life is one of the reasons I love living in the mountains. I know being evacuated from our homes is hard. Harder for some more others, I'm sure. But if you have a minute please say a few words for our furry and feathered friends. π€
