So a couple weeks ago Gardner was on fire and Rosie’s Bistro was destroyed. So today’s photos are about just going for my morning walk and checking out. The reason that I couldn’t sleep because of smoke inhalation from the fire was still raging. They’re still trying to put it out even though they said it was under control, only had one fireman on it. I could hear it crackling. I could see Flames.

So I swung wide and walked around to places in town that were smoke free and discovered an old Gardener jail historical building. Kind of fenced-off. Nobody ever gets to see it. Cool. It’s so small. I wonder if this was the first jail and Gardner.

Later on that day when the skies cleared, it was so stressful. Mr. Bear started drinking.
