Another dull day in the country...

Yes, that's exactly what I thought yesterday morning. Another boring summer day, with nothing to do. Until around 4:30 in the afternoon. *scary ghost story voice* Mom and I were making dinner. I went outside to put okra in the other fridge, when I saw it. A grass fire was raging in the back pasture and the goats were running around in the barnyard. I ran inside and told Mom. She ran out to get the goats while I called 911. *scary voice stops* Thankfully, this guy showed up since his daughter saw the fire from the road. He helped us put out the majority of the fire in our pasture and in the property next to ours. By the time the fire department showed up, the fire had spread to our neighbor's property and onto the back of Medieval Times. (There were about 6 or 7 trucks there!) Yes, it was a tragic experience, yet exciting too! And at the end of it all, Mom could be heard saying, "And today was supposed to be a slow day for me to work on scrapbooks....."
