Last night, while rocking on the Dixie, we received a text from our realtor that there was a house fire on the next street over.
Forty firefighters responded. I couldn't help but feel very thankful for them and for the continuous rain that fell. The beauty and danger of our neighborhood are the numerous pines.

This was the view from our back deck at 10:30 PM, 3 1/2 hours after the fire had started. The Lake Tahoe News did a report, quoting me, if you would like to read more. |

And this is the house this morning. We received our first snow of the year, blanketing everything in a glorious whiteness, even masking the devastation to this home.
I received this update from the City's News Flash mailing, "This morning, South Lake Tahoe Police Detectives are engaged in a criminal investigation and will be examining the scene with the assistance of arson investigators from all local fire departments." |
