Fires

I thought I had heard or read that and I think it was when the fires were going so bad in California.

Yep, you are right, if we have rain, then everything will come back greener and better after having the old winter thatch burned off. What we have to do is check the fence line. There were wood fence posts on the ranch and if the fire was very hot, then they will likely have to be replaced. My cousin is going up there this week to check it out.

I hope there won't be too much work for him to do.

"Him" is a her! LOL! She'll assess the damage and then we'll get the guy who rents the pasture to run cattle, to fix the fence (it's tax deductable, thankfully!)

Here's an article from a little paper in Clinton Oklahoma, near the fires. Be sure to scroll down to the complete bottom of the page, not just the bottom of the article for more pictures.

Wow!!! That was a much bigger fire than I was imagining!!!! It's a wonder that you didn't lose buildings on your farm!!! The article said that it was 9 miles by 20 miles!! That's a big area!! I'm glad that things weren't worse.

Yep, a really big area - 60,000 acres. ! I loved the picture in the paper where the fire was stopped cold by the green wheat field! So cool!
