What a beautiful day. I was inspired. Spent about 3 hours doing yard work, and will probably do more when Justin gets home. Had a fun experience.
We have a big yard, and we were busy in the fall, so this spring our yard needs lots of work. I started raking and bagging the leaves and twigs, by myself, it was windy. Have you ever tried to bag leaves by yourself in the wind? Doesn't work too well. So I had a great idea! When I was a kid we always burned leaves, not bag them.:)
So I raked my piles and got the matches.
Well, on windy days the smoke makes quite a scene. I was being very careful and had one very small pile going, but I could tell.... this might bother some people.
I continued working, and to my surprise up pulls a HUGE ORANGE FIRE TRUCK. Oh yes, two very nice Fireman came to inform me that due to high winds I had to put out my fire. I grabbed my hose which was near by (the kids were out washing the van), and I very quickly drenched the fire. I will now wait to bag the leaves until I have help!

oh my jenny...i think i would have died right there!!! sounds like you handled it very well with the firemen showing up at your house! now you need to remember that you grew up in the country...people starting fires everywhere, but now you are in a subdivision where neighbors will call the fire dept.! haha. i do so admire your determination to get things done around the yard, you are my hardest working friend!!! love you and miss you lots.
yes...that is funny. have your kids called 911 yet? two of mine have. police are required to show up even if the mom gets on the phone and says nothing is wrong. so, so embarrassing....
