THE CALM BEFORE THE STORM....

My husband and his crew are getting restless to go fight fire. They prepare for fire season and anticipate being busy. So far, the entire nation is very quiet as far as the fire activity. I enjoy having him home every night, but I figured out that when I get used to him being home, he'll be gone. According to the good ol' fashion Farmers Almanac, the month of May (in CA) temps will be below average, and June will begin to warm up quickly. So is this just the calm before the storm?? Does this mean that fire season will go later into the fall?? Each year is so different.....some get hot and dry in April, others not until June. It could go from being in the 60-70s to being 90-100 in days. So don't get used to them being around........before you know it we will be missing them!!

Just a thought...
