The air smells of ashes

[Kirby]

When I took my garbage out today I noticed the smell of ash in the air. I thought that maybe the container holding our fireplace ashes for our garden had overturned but, no, it hadn't.

My husband dropped by a little while ago and told me about the fires in West Texas. The air condition is much worse than a couple of years ago when we got all the smoke from the fires in Mexico. The ash smell makes you want to stay inside. It's almost overwhelming.

One of our employees said that the area burning is close to the size of Rhode Island. And that the cattle have no where to go and are just standing there, burning up. How horrible!

That is sad...I haven't watched the news, but I have taken the dogs for a walk and I can smell here in the Dallas Metroplex.

Kirby - I am in Plano, and I could also smell the "burn"! It was an obvious grass fire smell, but I thought it must have been somewhere close to me. Weird.

I haven't been outside yet. DH is traveling in west texas at the moment although not near amarillo and he said the smell is bad.

I've been out running errands and the smell has gotten better. You can barely smell the ash. But sitting here, my clothes have a faint scent of it.
