Jasdip, I’m so glad your friend found the kid. Yes, it is super hot here and windy. We are constantly getting wildfire alerts on our phones. There has been several small evacuations in neighbouring counties but not ours. I believe that today the temp. is only going to be in the mid ’20s and pretty much the same for the next few days. A nice change from the ’30s. But it is dry and windy and no sign of rain. I have a small pond on my property that ducks like to nest on but it is bone dry this year.

We’re all hoping for rain!

My guess for today is a LEGO set. The Titanic LEGO helped my husband and me get through a few weeks of the pandemic. (Lot’s of salty sailor talk was involved, LOL ) Oh, and we did the LEGO world map which was easy but very relaxing.

My second guess is colouring book as my 76 year old SIL has stacks of them.

Teddy bear or a doll.

Okay, how quickly things change!

We’ve just been given notice to prepare to evacuate. We don’t have to yet but we need to be ready to leave in 15 minutes if necessary. Thank goodness we no longer have horses.

The whole town of Drayton Valley is being evacuated. My daughter and SIL have a quarter section near there but don’t live there.

Yikes! Stay safe, rox, and keep use posted!! Will be thinking about you...

For today's quiz, I'll guess bicycle.

Thanks letters. We’re ready to go any time if we have to. LOL, my husband has the golf clubs in the back of the vehicle.

I wish the wind would die down and give the firefighters a break.

I just spoke to my daughter and she says the trail cams on their property show that everything is still there.

Praying for rain for you, Rox.

Rox....just hope it's a short lived evacuation and all is well.

Roxsol, you are in my thoughts and prayers, please keep us updated. I know this is very serious but I thought saving the golf clubs was funny.

Count me the same as Lucille. I'm on my phone and typing disappears.

Thanks for all the good thoughts.

Our status hasn’t changed any and we’re still being told to be ready to evacuate. There have been several grass fires in the area but are being kept under control. The biggest fires are to the west of us along the Yellowhead Highway, Edson has been evacuated and they are blowing toward Jasper National Park.

The temperature was only in the mid 20s today but the wind has been non-stop. Rain is predicted for Saturday night/Sunday morning. I feel very bad for those folks who have been uprooted from their homes.

I’m planning to stay up tonight and enjoy the full moon and (don’t judge me) watch the Royal Coronation which begins at 2 am.💂‍♀️🇬🇧

We are getting regular updates from the provincial emergency alert system.

Fingers crossed for the wind to die down and the rain to begin.
