wildfire smoke

After last week’s hot weather, with over 90 degree Farenheit temperatures several days, I welcomed this week’s cooler 70+ degree days.

For the past three days, I’ve been busy gardening.

I finally planted potted perennial flowers and vegetable plants I’ve kept on my porch during the hot temperatures, without worrying about them shriveling up from the intense heat.

That changed today when southeast Michigan air quality took a serious decline into the unhealthy range, according to AirNow.
