See that?  That house is the silly colonizer McMansion across the highway that leaves its outdoor lights on all night. The green in the foreground? Our red willows just outside the kitchen door.  

See what's rising behind that house?

It's actually about 30 miles away as the crow flies, but it's 300 acres with zero percent containment already, and tomorrow is supposed to bring us extreme winds again, coming from the west. [And by road?  It takes more than an hour to get there, and the fire's in a canyon, so that's going to make it all the harder for firefighting crews to get any sort of containment.]

This is the kind of thing that does actually threaten us here.

So now I have one more factor to take into account this weekend while I'm trying to arrange for planting and cleaning and the animals and sales and bringing in enough to pay for Wings's and my medical stuff next week and both tax payments, and I can't do it alone. My Patreon is also already down $50 this month and I've had a very kind heads-up letting me know that it will be going down a few hundred more, permanently, beginning next month. So I need to bring in enough to cover that, plus the hay, and the taxes, and my medical costs, and and and and. And I am so very tired all the time; that's what lupus does, on top of the crippling pain. I need help to get this all done.

• Sales here; 
• Testimonials here; 
• Amazon wishlist here (priorities are first and foremost, the other ladder, the Thermacell lanterns [the flies are already out, so the mosquitoes won't be far behind], and the liquid soaps, which we can't get locally but prevent our hands from cracking and bleeding given that we're forced to wash them fifty times a day);
• Patreon here;
• Ko-fi here.

We're still hoping to put aside enough for a new well when the ground thaws enough to drill in the spring, too, Nah, we've given up on the well. No one's available to drill before the latter half of summer, and the tax burden means we would never be able to afford it anyway. But it's perhaps even more of a good time to make a purchase, because Uncle Sam is a vindictive colonizer, and my current stress levels about paying it all are off the charts. And there's lots of fabulous work, so please share all of the links.
