It's been a helluva day...
Jun. 10th, 2014 06:15 pm...and I mean that almost literally.
We had a fire on our property. Dad had the brilliant idea to burn some tree branches he had cut down, but instead of watching it like a hawk like he should have been doing, he decided to wander off and mow the grass. By the time he noticed the fire had gotten out of control and told us to call the fire department, it had already spread quite a bit. Thank goodness it's a big property and the fire stayed away from the house, but we now have a very charred, very ugly pasture. Other than that, though, no real major damages or injuries. Dad lost a shirt, and his boots are a lost cause, but that's pretty much it, I think. Maybe a little damage to the fence and a storage building that we weren't using. Definitely could have been a lot worse!
