As The Wind Blows
The other day the Santa Ana's came. For those of you who don't know, Santa Ana's are extremely dry, hot winds that often come this time of year in the Southern California area. The are frequently a problem because the summer has dried things out and the winds are known for fanning small fires into horrific wildfires I have always loved these Santa Ana's. I don't have the allergies that many people complain about and the warmth and strength of the winds make me feel so alive. They also seem to usher in my favorite time of year...FALL. In addition, the winds are dry as a bone which takes my hair from Janis Joplin to early Cher real quick. But this year I do not love our Santa Ana's. They have wrecked havoc and destruction. People are being harmed and structures leveled. This beautiful desert that I call home is on fire. Hoping for relief for those working on and affected by all the fires burning...and soon.
