In A Good Way

You may not believe this, BUT there are times when I am a bit scatterbrained.

On second thought you may not be surprised by that last statement and believe that not only am I a bit but mostly scatterbrained or possibly completely so. I have so many thoughts zipping this way and that throughout the day with most of the time not having a way to lock those thoughts into any kind of permanence like writing them down, or speaking notes into my phone. It is hard to jot a thought when the chain saw is running, an axe is in my hand, some animal or another jostling for attention, or Mike needing a tool.

Over the course of a day, I try to take snippets of my life as it goes by and many times form the stories that I want to share about fragments and take a few pictures. I can write a whole article in my mind hours or days before I get the chance to put my hands on the keyboard to begin.

The following came to me in an email, and I wanted to share it as a story with you. But my scatterbrain set it aside and nearly forgot about it. Although I am several weeks delaying in sharing, this is one of those great stories that needs to be shared.

This email was sent to me to alert me to local news.

We made the front page of the local newspaper – in a good way. We were interviewed about small woodland owners thoughts and efforts for fire resilience.

In the light of last years devastating wildfires and the serious threat of more fires throughout Oregon and the whole west coast this year, this news came as a positive role that the small landowners are doing and will continue to do to protect our sensitive environment, our lifestyles, our family and property.
