Glad that I still have a home......
I had mentioned that I went on a shopping trip last Saturday with some women from church and Glen was working in the field.
Our son, Feyn, has rented the pasture right next to our house (it's built next to our property line) and he decided that he was going to burn the pasture off. Well, last summer there was a new fence put in and a lot of trees were bulldozed and piled up just south of the house.......probably 125 yards or so. While burning off the pasture the pile of trees caught on fire and the wind picked up. I guess we had burning ash and sparks bouncing off the the bricks of the house so my son-in-law, Jason, who is a volunteer fireman, called some fire trucks to come up to the house until it was out of danger. I am so appreciatative of these men.......taking time out of their day to make sure that our home was safe!! The trees just outside of my bedroom burned......we have a small lane that goes between the house and these trees and it's burned up to that lane.......way too close to the house!!!! Glen was eventually called and he had to cut down a tree that had died and was burning because he was worried it might fall on the house......so scary!!! |
