    I was pretty sure someone would ask...

    Yes, it's been BAD. We were evacuated last night and found lodgings... actually, the Red Cross found us a place to sleep. We returned home this morning and found our house safe and sound. Two blocks up from us was burned and about a mile down the road houses were burned out. Right now we are staying with family because I'm so freaked out to stay in the house since I can still see smoke across the way in the hills. I'll tell you all more about it once I'm back home and our internet connection is back up.

    Thanks for your prayers. I'll take more!!!! HA! (actually, yesterday I was terrified but feeling better now that I'm pretty far from the fires and in a safety zone)

    Yes, Cait, so good to know that you're safe! Those huge fires are terrifying! Thank you SusieSweetie for starting the thread!!!

    Hopefully your garden and home will survive the elements! Y'all stay safe and sound above all, so glad you have family to be there for you, that's priceless! ~tenderlee

    I don't think there is anything more frightening than fire ... okay for me it would be to be stuck in the middle of the ocean treading water with sharks around me! I can certainly understand you fear of staying home with the fires so close by. How scary! I will keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers along with your lovely partly remodeled home that you worked so hard on and your gorgeous gardens! Be safe!

    Cait, I had seen the fires on the news and thought of you. We live in wooded country and are always thinking of fires in the summer/fall seasons and try to fireproof our property as best we can... I'm so glad all is well!

    But...don't worry because you have Trygg the Troll to protect you! He will scare any fires away!!!! :o)

    Take care of you and yours and we will be praying for LOTS of rain for you!

    Bear Hugs! Kirk

    Cait, I'm so relieved you are ok. And your wonderful gardens and home have been spared. When I saw the news this morning that 84 people have died so far, and whole towns destoyed, I felt just sick at heart.
    (A lot of Whippet people in Australia too, so between them and you, I am praying madly for everyone.)

    Your guardian angel worked overtime.
    luv, Karen

    Oh what devastation!

    I hadn't read the paper or seen the news the last couple of days and had no idea this was going on, until I saw this thread. I've been watching videos and reading about it online just now. It's just terrible!

    I am so happy to know you and your DH are safe. I hope you will be able to return to your own home soon.

    God bless you!

    Thank you ALL!!! We were hoping to be able to go home today but my area has now been put on high risk. I feel sick. I spend a lot of the day praying we have a home to go home to. I can't thank you enough for all your prayers. I knew I could count on my GJ family. And that does my heart good.

    Death toll now 131 and they are expecting it to rise. Entire towns wiped out. One in particular really breaks my heart - Marysville. That is the town where that beautiful sculpture garden is, Bruno's place. And now they are saying it looks as if it was deliberately lit. How can anyone want to destroy a town? I am sick and saddened over this.

    Again, thank you, thank you, thank you all for your prayers and well wishes.
    Love you guys... Cait

    Oh Cait, I'm so glad you are okay, but sad that you haven't returned home yet. We will all keep you in our thoughts and prayers.

    Bless you,

    Oh Cait! You and the rest of the folks in Oz have been in my prayers ever since I heard about the fires. I can't even imagine how it must be for you. I just keep holding an image of your Lady Garden all green and beautiful in my mind and praying that it stays that way.

    I'm so glad that YOU and yours are alright. As tragic as the loss of a home is YOU are irreplaceable!

    Cait, I am so sorry for the heartache and devastation that is around you. How awful to think it could be a deliberate act of hate. I hope you will be able to return home soon, I know with the smoke still hanging there it could be unsafe. We are praying for you and your family and hope you can find some little bit of normal again in your life.
    Thank you for keeping us posted, you are a precious lady and I am so glad you are OK.
    blessings to your family-sherri

    Cait, I've been trying to follow the news and its just so heartbreaking that arson is suspected in some of the fires.
    How could anyone do that to the land, and the animals..and much worse, kill all those people and destroy their homes and livlihood. I will never understand things like this.
    I sincerely hope they slowly burn in H---, if not here on earth. (Sorry if that offends anyone).

    I will continue to pray for your home and gardens, and for everyone caught in this devastation.

    hugs, Karen

    Cait, I've been thinking of you all day...wondering how you are. I pray you and your DH are safe, and that your home has managed to stay out of the path of these terrible flames.

    That arson is possible and probably a sure thing is unbearably angering and sad!!

    May God bless you and keep you and yours safe!
