It's A Good Morning

Shane spoiled me last night...after I had fed Hayden at 11pm, Shane took him and was able to take care of the 1am feeding with the milk that I had pumped earlier in the day - this means that I had uninterrupted sleep from 11pm to 3am!! - Woo-hoo!! Then Hayden spoiled me by sleeping to 6am after his 3am feeding!! - Nice night of sleep for me; however, I think Shane is suffering a little this morning.
Hayden has been bright eyed and bushy tailed this morning. He has been happy to play and exercise on the bed rather than demanding to be held all morning. His stomach/gas pains have definitely not been bothering him this morning! Which is lovely - I hate to see him hurt.

As for the fires...one of my favorite walks got burned up last night. I love to walk this one area where Hat Creek and the Pit River meet at Lake Britton. Between the two rivers is a great meadow which Boone loves because of all the birds and open space. My friend Vanessa and I are going to go walk around it in a couple of weeks (once the smoldering has stopped) to survey the damage.
The town of Burney is very smoky this morning. Even with all the doors and windows closed, I can smell the smoke. There is ash on the vehicles...it is all very strange. We are supposed to get more thunder storms sometime this week - of course, this is a Catch-22...hopefully there is rain to help put out the fires; however, there might also be lightning which means the possibility of more fires...let's hope not.
I'll keep you posted.
