I slept a little later today but not nearly as late as yesterday. I woke up a bit achy but it eased eventually.
The fire was 55% contained when I woke this morning. One map shows no recent fire activity, another shows many spots. With little significant information coming from CalFire or local government, it is hard to figure out what is really happening.
After working, we took a drive up so I could pick up dog food and then turned to Tomales to check out a couple of farm stands. We picked up more onion and some carrots and eyed the lettuce that we finally found but no longer need because Tam broke down and got some at the grocery store.
Tam and I broke out the fruit press and set to work cutting and mashing a LOT of apples. But it turns out they were still not enough to really fill the press and we and we had to make some adjustments to get the most juice out of them we could. We were able to get four cups and learned a lot. In conversation later with Jess, we recognized that it could be a big help for her with processing her pomegranates.
This is half of the apples that we used.
The mandatory evacuation was eased to a warning so I will go up to check out the house and see what things look like. We'll tentatively return the animals on Wednesday if the air quality is good enough.
We are safe and loved and well. I hope you are too.
