Wow Pat, I am so sorry for those families and for your fires! The electric company caused mine so it was out of our control...I have always felt sad & sorry when I hear of fires people have but never really realized the fears of the aftermath that comes with it! I will never forget it!

This time of year there is an increase in the # of house fires in Maine - 2 yesterday. Many burn wood and by now the creosote residue builds and you can throw in a log or two to stoke the fire for a while only to have it cath the creosote on fire and set off a chimney fire. Many homes are very old and some chimneys are not even lined thus, the fire spreads very quickly through the walls. It is very scary and the outcome is usually one lost house with everything in it and sometimes folks don't get out in time...This winter has been especially harsh and dry wood stores have been burned and folks have gone to wood that hasn't been seasoned. Green wood builds creosote more quickly. The fire departments are mostly volunteer and sometimes can't get to structures fast enough. We had 2 bad chimney fires years ago and we no longer burn wood - I am afraid of it. Just a little "smoke" story.

Thank You for understanding! I know how frightening that must have been for you all too! So glad you all came out of that safe! I don't EVER want to go through something like this again either! Keep that wonderful humor coming...I Love it!

The flowers are beautiful! I have never heard of them! Thank you!

I was hoping you wouldn't mind the sense of humor. I didn't have time when we had the fire either! We just got the kids (7 mo. and 2 1/2 yrs. into the car and started backing out of the drive and a propane tank exploded ....close as I ever want to get to that type of situation EVER again! I sure hope things get back to normal for you soon. Nothing worse than not being comfortable in your own home. Have a great day... and this picture is just for you...Took it a couple of days ago... It is a Prickly Poppy and they are filling the fields around here to remind us that spring is coming!

Dutchbug, so very glad you are OK and that your son was able to call you right away that is a very scary thing to happen


Thank You Catgirl! It was very scary and found it has been hard to leave the house totally alone but I am getting better at it as time goes by.

Challenge-Smoke.....
I got these from just blowing out a candle! Backed with black poster board and west window for the highlight of the smoke.
PP'd a bit for different colors. Had to work fast as it only lasted a couple of seconds!

Great job Clicker2014! You do so well with smoke! I love doing smoke also, well maybe I use to...as now that I have looked at everyone's wonderful pictures and am now sweating and shaking with panic! I haven't been here to participate lately because I got a call at work & my son told me that we had 3 power poles and transformers blow up (2 which are in my yard), which set 3 large power surges through my house and many neighbors. They finally got our power back on but didn't check all the lines properly. Two days later my son called me again at work (he just got home from work) and he could hear popping and snapping sounds. I dashed home to find a surge protector under my husbands desk burning. Edison didn't check the neutral line coming into my house before turning the power back on! I have spent several days now testing each of my plug outlets to make sure they have proper voltage and slowly plugging things back into all new surge protectors and still have not finished them all yet. Thank God my son came home from work instead of stopping off at his buddies or I might not have a home! I haven't slept much since.
