Well they did it again....the Boulder Fire Department (and tons of other agencies called in to help) kept the terrible fire burning last night at bay from our homes.   Really, these men and women are really rock stars.  They set backfires, traversed rocky and very uneven terrain in the dark, guarded homes, worked through the night, all while facing a raging fire.  Oonly a couple of homes were lost, while hundreds were threatened.  And, thankfully only minor injuries.  

I headed over to look at the fire line today.  It is all charred and the area smells like a giant campfire.  While the foothills are blackened now, in a short time they will be green again as the fire is actually a healthy thing for the mountain...kind of hard to believe, but I know it will happen.
