We went to Bastrop today and picked up many of the plans that survived. We arrived home about 2P and proceeded o plant them. As Susan came from our end of the house to Minolia's, when she noticed a fire. Yep, that's what I said a fire.
TALK ABOUT SHIT:ING BLUE CARPET TACKS!!! Today there was a grass or hay FIRE and it advanced on the property just like Bastrop back in September. We are not sure who or what started it, but it had me sweating bullets as it raced toward CR440. The fire department was called and were enroute, but that did not sooth me in any way. They were able to keep it on the east side of 440 and we are quite thankful for the road shorter grass and the fire fighters.
We will post some photos we took while the wind pushed the flames up 6 to 12 feet. The fire wall was quite impressive as I have not seen flames like that sine 1997 when we did controlled burns at Fort McCoy.
Glad it is all done and fire fighters have gone. Hopefully the hay will come back stronger since the nitrogen should be up.
Looking forward to a une entful evening.
