Grateful to local firefighters and police

Today's post is dedicated to the brave firefighters and service personnel who served during 9/11.  It is also a thank you to our local firefighters and police force who have been watching over our homes here in Houston as forest fires  rage through our area because of the long drought we have experienced this summer.

Not only am I grateful for the human lives and homes that were saved by our local firefighters, I also wish there were a way to invite all the displaced animals to share the forest behind our home, which, up until now, has been untouched by the devastation of the fires.

For the past few days I've been fortunate to peacefully sit and watch the wildlife behind out home as I work on projects in my Craft Loft.  Click photos for larger view.

If you have some time today to remember, here is a link to the 102 Minutes that changed America with an interactive map of eye witness accounts of 8/11 on History.com.  Feel free to share this with your Facebook friends and family.  Look for the Share link in the left hand side on my web site.
