Those Aren't Rain Clouds!!!

As we were leaving to go to Chapel this afternoon, we saw a fire truck headed out our way, so we looked back and saw the smoke of a huge fire! We couldn't really tell where the fire was located, but it looked like it could be close to our house, so we turned around and made a bee-line for the ranch. When we finally got to the ranch we found that the fire was about 3 miles south of the house and heading southwest. Hopefully the wind won't change to where it is headed towards the barns or the house. We keep the horses in the 'House Pasture' so they'll graze and keep the grass low, just in case! Anyway, there are 7 firefighters, 3 fire trucks, and Teryn working the fire right now.

The fire lasted about 6 hours and burnt up about 2 sections of land. We're not complaining though! Nothing was destroyed except lots of grass - it could have been sooo much worse! The firemen were able to weaken the fire, then when it tried to jump a dirt road, it fizzled and died! Teryn told me that every few years lightening hits that pasture and burns it! This picture was taken from the carport!
