way too close to grounds of the farm. Although at night, when all of this happened, it seemed much closer and worse, but in the light of day,............. not so bad. The scariest part............my husband and I were not home when this broke out, and were called by our son(who was home) who told of what was unfolding........while we were on the road to home............ in the middle of a hail storm, trying to get out of it.............. Have you ever noticed that when you are hurrying to get somewhere.........you can't go fast enough.? It seemed as if our truck was driving in molasses...........so slow.........as the hail pounded us! All we could see when we got closer to our home was a long, high, wall of orange haze along the dark horizon.
Thank goodness for the farmer's cotton field. It lay between our land and the land that caught on fire.
That term I have always heard.................(Support your local fire fighters)............it's not just a phrase for the bumper sticker.........it's something that I truly hold as an important phrase and something that needs to be done. They were out in all of the fire and the pitch black night..........making this country life peaceful once again.
Sophie has a smile on her face, as much as we do now.
Hope this is finding you safe from fire, floods and storms.

I can deal with noreasters, rain and many other threats. Fire is one that scares the heck out of me. After we first moved to the farm there was a fire about 1/2 mile down the road. The farmer lost many calves and a few cows. It was horrible and I will never forget it. I'm so happy and thankful thay your farm was spared.
That must have been a living nightmare! Trying to move fast seemly in Molasses and getting nowhere...l'm glad everything and everyone was safe..I guess sophie was too!:o)
How scary that was, you were getting hit by bad weather while the land was on fire. I am so glad to know you got home okay and the fire is out and everyone is safe.
Oh my gosh! How frightening! I'm so glad to know that you are all OK. I hope you get some rain soon. Hugs to you, Kathleen.
My brother in Midland said the countryside is looking black from there to Lubbock - we have had a few grass fires here in North Central Texas - moves incredibly fast! God bless firefighters - they do a terrifying job!
Oh, thank God! Angels encamping roung about you and protecting you and yours.
So glad to hear everyone safe and everything turned out OK. Fires are very scary. Bless our VFD.

Oh, Kathleen~ how scary! I know what you mean... when you need to get home in a hurry it seems everyone else is standing still.
God bless all the brave firefighters who do thier job so unselfishly.
