It is in the 40's here in Arkansas, however about an hour ago I think it warmed up a bit due to the fire in the field by me !!
I was online on Yorkitalk and looked out my sliding glass window to see nothing but a sky and yard filled with smoke. I could not even see my neighbor's house down the road.
Being Sunday my lazy day and still in my froggy jam's and froggy slippers I grab the keyes as fast as I can and drove down the hill to my neighbors...Banging on the door she answers and Im screaming "your field's on fire and heading up the hill to my house!! Call 911 !!
So, in my jam's i grab her hose to try to put out some of the flames, that didn't help a bit. All of a sudden I panicked and thought of Schatzie and Annabelle left in the house and yelled to my neighbor, "Ive got to go get my dogs!!" and drove back up...
15 min's later here roars in the fire trucks and all is under control now.
I felt awful for just leaving her with this fire alone but I realized her hose wasn't going to reach and do any bit of good whatsoever, and all I could think about at that moment was the fire climbing up the hill and catching my house on fire with my two baby dogs inside and how I needed to get them just incase we needed to leave the fire area...
Luckily the winds are not bad today so the fire moved slow, however yesterday the winds were really whipping and it would have made that fire burn faster than life itself..
Oh, what a day!!!
