It rained a lot of today, and this evening it is not possible to be outside. There are definitely bugs. We were on the edge of drought; grass was starting to die off where it had been cut. There is a fire ban the next township over. I haven't heard anything about here yet.
Speaking of fire bans, I am hoping with all of the consciousness about Fort MacMurray and the recent wildfire there that it will not be so difficult to get people to comply with fire safety rules here this summer. It's fine to be cavalier about your campfire, as long as you want to pay top dollar for the place after you burn it down..my insurance company will insist the bill is paid. Finding cigarette butts that were left to burn out on pine needles under trees is particularly nerve wracking. It does not take much; the natural environment cannot be made fireproof.
