Last September 5th, almost 6 months ago to the day,
the infamous Lefthand fire started just west of Boulder.
I did this painting on my iPhone back then.
It seems like yesterday.
That fire was a horror, but it didn't burn everything.
Unlike most of you, we've had a dead-dry winter,
and the wind is howling 79 mph.
So here we go again...
