Thanks to the hard work of local firefighters and an incredibly lucky visit from Hurricane Kay, the Fairview fire is nearly completely contained! I'm so grateful that our neighborhood was unharmed. It's so nice to be back home!

I don't think I've ever had an illustrative year where I learned so much or enjoyed the finished products quite as much as this.
