Okay, the drama never ends over here. Chuck brought out the shake shingles from the job he’s doing and put them all in the burn pile. They are wood and very old and very dry. I figured, I should start the fire since tomorrow it’s going to rain. So, I take out what garbage I have and start the fire. I go inside to use the bathroom and I check on it and it’s fine. I do something else and go back to check on it and it’s crawling all over the yard!!

YIKES!!!

So, I get the hose and I try to contain the fire, but it’s windy out and the fire keep jumping away until I could no longer reach it with the hose and the flames were taller than me and they were heading for my neighbors house! YIKES!!!

So, I give up and run inside to call our fire department. I keep trying to get the fire out but it’s huge and heading south and I couldn’t reach it with my 200 foot hose! OH MY!! I’m scared to death that I will burn our neighbors house down! GOOD LORD!!!

He shows up right quick, said he only lives about 2 miles from the fire department. Yes, I ran in to grab my camera so I could blog about it. CJ was upset that I didn’t get a picture of him holding the hose. The fireman gave it to him while he got more hose out of the truck. CJ was first on the scene but I was too freaked out to go get it until the fire was more contained.



I had to take a shower as I stunk and was so dirty! I’m glad it’s over and everything is okay again!

SHEW!!

The Damage!


This is where I started the fire.

You can see how close to my new tree it came!

Ah, my poor grass!

You can see where it was running away from me going out back towards the woods.

Behind these trees is our neighbors house!
