On Fire

Upon walking into the kitchen, and looking out the South window -- I witnessed a cloud of smoke and lots of flames!  The neighbor to the East had been burning his pasture, and well, the wind had now moved the fire to our pasture.

I saw Mr. Fixit moving towards the group of men assembled on four wheelers and pick-ups to survey the situation.  See, we really needed our pastured burned too, but we just didn't plan on doing it that day.  However, since a crew was assembled, and the fire was going, Mr. Fixit said to let it burn.

Mr. Fixit grabbed a shovel and helped guide the flames.  A majority of our pasture was burned.  Mr. Fixit came back into the house at 9:45 p.m. that night.  He was quite tired and smoky!  Here is a picture of the burning in action!  Be safe!
