up here in the SJ foothills is already mostly crunchy underfoot, pinto.

We can always buy hay for the horses but early May is so early to go on alert for fire. We're lucky. The nearest fire station is less than five minutes away. But what about folks even further up than we are?

People really need to have a plan this year and to know what it is and to coordinate with their neighbors.
