Fire in the Neighborhood

Nothing like someone else's loss to make you feel grateful for what you have.  This was the view from our front porch this afternoon.  The home behind this one burned today.  I wonder if this homeowner is the one who planted the beautiful poppies on the hillside.  

As for progress, I couldn't even tell you.  Today is one of those days when there is just too much kid chaos to actually carry on a conversation.
