Maxwell Fire in Lefthand Canyon

Another wildfire started in Lefthand Canyon yesterday evening.  At 8 p.m., the US Forest Service said the blaze covered about 100 acres; evacuations are in effect.  Yesterday the temperature rose to 95 degrees, and the humidity was at 12%, with winds at 15 to 25 mph from the west.  A cold front came through last night, and it's currently 60 degrees, with 85% humidity.  Hopefully, this will help the firefighters contain and extinguish the Maxwell Fire.  -  All I can say is that the sky looks like whipped meringue in shades of pearl and grey, and we have a 50% chance of isolated rain showers this afternoon and evening.  As usual, the YMCA has been set up as the evacuation center.
With the front coming in, all I want to do is sleep - not go and walk Rosie and Remy, not go to the bank or the library - just stay in bed and sleep the day away.  I wish I could. - More news later!
