FIRE! Fire on my road today. A tractor caught on fire, caught the field on fire. Field surrounded by forest, that come right up against my house. I loaded a few valuables in the truck, couple changes of clothes. Have trailer hitched, backed up to chute for loading sheep. Plan was to load as many as I could, grab dogs and make a run for it. Leaving truck and trailer there tonight and tomorrow.

And I have jury duty tomorrow.

I don’t know if they would all fit. Probably not. Neighbors offered to bring their gooseneck and load some, so maybe I could have got them all, maybe not. Fire is out, they got somebody watching a few hot spots.

I don’t have jury duty tomorrow, called number after 5:00 and recording said cancelled.

What a terrifying ordeal, and what a relief that the fire is out. Good that you can stay home tomorrow just to keep an eye on things and de-stress.

Glad that you did not have to put your evacuation plans into effect. Your animals probably have no idea that they just narrowly missed a sudden upheaval to their normal way of life!
