Have you considered how good cinnamon rolls are on a summer morning? Or have you considered the delightfulness (my own word) of baked bread or a roast on a hot summer’s evening? Ah! I know… I sounds NUTS! But consider it a moment! What a nice break from the salad fare!

We have enjoyed some of these delights recently by using one of these ovens that are portable. We place it out on our deck, so the heat doesn’t affect the home.

Summer Baking

Now, as we look out the other direction from our home, it appears that the entire horizon is on fire. The smoke is miles and miles wide from Hardin, past Pompey’s Pillar and heading towards Melstone or Roundup, MT.

The news tells us of another fire, which we can only see the smoke of occasionally, which is towards the Beartooth mountains where Yellowstone Park is. We did see another pillar of smoke yesterday, which was much smaller than the others, from that direction, but that was separate. I’m not even mentioning all the other fires, which have been started and put out in the past couple of weeks.

Here are a couple photos from the fire of 2003 that was about 500 yards from our home. Dennis and Benjamin helped fight this fire.
