Re: fires in texas
On the way home from work today I seen smoke about halfway inbetween my house and my farm, there 6 miles apart. I turn down the county road and the smokes getting thicker. Sure enough, big fire blazing. An old man, 70 ish (he he Mr Rice) is driving his tractor over it trying to put it out. I see his son who's about 40 with wet towels. I offer to call the fire dept but he says their on the way. I help him beat back the fire for about 5 minutes and I hear our sirens. The trucks show up and we get it out. I sure was scared cuz the wind had picked up quite a bit. I have 2 bales left and they have to last for about a month and a half, they ain't gonna make it. Horses are just gonna hafta eat leaves from the trees. We had to start earlier, are gonna have to feed hay longer, and at a lot higher price. Now its not even available. I'm putting out rye grass seed sat. hoping it takes. Its a little late and not real good for the horses but it beats dirt.
