Should I change the motif?

The flame motif for my blog background is too timely. More than 500,000 acres of Montana have already burned, and most of the fires that started in July are still active. No moisture. No rain. Humidity below 40% on most days.



My solar fencer stopped working. My old gelding has flicked his way through the non-transmitting wires and been wandering my yard at night. Nothing worse than hearing a thunk at three a.m., and look out to see him trying to get into the hay shed.



Well, it's my fault. The earth was too dry for the grounding rod to be effective. I finally ran a hose into the ground beside the rod. It took three hours of a slow stream before it made a difference.



I usually change my blog background each month. Without any forecast change, I might just keep the flames in place through October. Or maybe, if I put up a picture of water and rain and stormy weather, it just might conjure that to reality. Ha!
