The nice part is that fire often precedes a really beautiful regrowth and it's often actually good for the forest itself.Saur♥Krauthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01160101729455178399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19370354.post-82025347784022042192009-05-19T01:13:00.000+10:002009-05-19T01:13:00.000+10:00CONNIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If it affects us who only drive through, imagine how the residents feel; it must be an ongoing nightmare to live there.Gina E.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07532527261977368083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19370354.post-42447562360328480962009-04-09T22:01:00.000+10:002009-04-09T22:01:00.000+10:00Hi Connie... stopping by from Merle's blog!!This d...Hi Connie... stopping by from Merle's blog!!<BR/>This devestation is so terrible!! and to think that someone might have started these fires on purpose is even worse!!<BR/>I kept up with the fires through Merle's blog post, and the news of course!!<BR/>The pictures remind me of our own Gulf Coast after Katrina. There is so much still to be done in the cities and town along the coast in Alabama and Mississippi. I have not been there only heard reports from friends who have been there to help out.... they say it's like looking at a war ravaged country.Technonanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00654136310714956586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19370354.post-17817024502997095872009-03-27T13:42:00.000+11:002009-03-27T13:42:00.000+11:00Dear Connie ~~ Thank you for your concern, but I a...Dear Connie ~~ Thank you for your concern, but I am OK - sort of. Have been in a lot of pain for weeks and then the accident. I am just starting to feel better so hope to get back to more normal. I haven't cooked for a couple of weeks and if anyone visits I ask them to get my mail to avoid walking.<BR/>I read this post before, but <BR/>obviously got too tired to comment.<BR/>I heard one house was destroyed in Dixons Creek, several at Steels Creek and Yarra Glen. As you know I sed to live near all of these as<BR/>well as Toolangi. I thought about <BR/>you last night and hoped you were safely home. Take care, dear friend<BR/>Love, Merle. x xMerlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05763778255535640633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19370354.post-80871360915552208802009-03-09T14:25:00.000+11:002009-03-09T14:25:00.000+11:00So Sad , the pics really show the devestation, Gos...So Sad , the pics really show the devestation, Gosh it must be so hard on everyone over there and esp for thoe who lost their homes .I have been still following the news on the fires etc but it cant hardly begin to show the hardships for all those people and yet to come .

We often went up there via Kinglake on Ken's bike, and just loved the tall trees and ferns along the roads. We've got friends in Yarra Glen, and so Yea was also a regular pitstop for us. We can't bear the thought of going up that way again and seeing the devastation. If this drought doesn't end soon for once and for all, I doubt if I'll see the forest green again in my lifetime.Gina E.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07532527261977368083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19370354.post-86848284302649653082009-03-03T16:14:00.000+11:002009-03-03T16:14:00.000+11:00G'day Connie, there is nothing like the personal t...G'day Connie, there is nothing like the personal touch to drive home the tragedy of those fires.<BR/>Rex (SIL) took a semitrailer load of hay from Wudinna, that's a bloody long trip BTW, he took quite a few photos and with his personal comments about them they certainly had an impact.Peterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15835936655590583808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19370354.post-22122797106132960092009-03-03T06:17:00.000+11:002009-03-03T06:17:00.000+11:00We saw the footage here in the States and it sure ...We saw the footage here in the States and it sure looked awfull.

So, so sad, both for people and for the poor wildlife who've lost their homes and especially for those who lost their lives. <BR/><BR/>We have some brush fires occasionally but nothing on the scale of those fires.<BR/><BR/>Praying that it rains soon and the land and forests can renew and grow green and lush once again.<BR/><BR/>Love and hugs,<BR/><BR/>DianeDiane@Diane's Placehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10919687116633720697noreply@blogger.com
