We enjoyed a mellow afternoon at home, and I spent a good little while with the bigger kids playing in the pool. By the time that we were going inside, I noticed the sky was getting dark. Since it's nearly the summer equinox, it's generally still sunny at 6:45, but not yesterday. The sky was sepia.
The light inside the house was unreal. Creepy, really.
This is the REAL color of things. The sun was also a crazy glowing red.
This morning the sky is promising to look much more normal as the heavy fog we got last night burns off. However, everything outside is covered in a very light layer of ash. I went out to pick some apricots and noticed white flakes on everything. I'm so glad we are washing Paul's car for Father's Day today or tomorrow and that I hadn't already gone to that effort!

We've been having fires too! When we woke up the sky was grey from the smoke and you could smell the fire. There's a fire in the Great Dismal Swamp, about an hour from here, but the winds from the coast carry it up to us...not quite like what you have, but a little unnerving to say the least.
