South Georgia Fires

The south GA fire is affecting our weather. It is overcast, almost like a Renaissance painting where the distance is indicated by the level of smog. So it is here, as bad, if not worse than August, when you can’t see Sand Mountain for the particles in the air. We are 15 inches behind in rain, the mature trees are drooping, and though not as hot, it feels smothery, even a hint of smoke fills the air. Both Mom and I reported sleeping poorly, as if the older, animal parts, of our brain were worried even while the cerebral parts tried to calm them. They kept murmuring “fire!” in our sleep.
