Thanks for asking Dana. I just got a call from the Sheriff's Dept. that we are being advised of a possible evacuation. I'm more worried about losing power since our well in on electricity. I'm filling all containers in case we have an outage that lasts a few days. If we have to evacuate I'll send Dave, the kids and a couple of dogs down the hill and I'll stay with the chickens, horses, and the rest of the gang. I'll play it safe though.

Thanks Dana! I don't foresee having to evacuate. I think they're playing it extra safe since we live in the land of liability. I'll certainly get a hold of you
if I see flames licking over the hill!!

Oh, my... I shudder seeing stuff like that - it brings back a lot of memories. You guys stay safe! Hopefully the coming cooler weather will help the Cal Fire guys get a handle on this quickly.

I'm doing trailer prep tomorrow to make sure I'm ready to roll at a moment's notice. I hate fire season!

I was going to use the horse trailer to haul hay but now I think not.... Mexico is burning too. That one has been going since the middle of the week. I watch it every time I go up to Jacumba to feed my animals.....

Ack! I hate fire season! You stay safe too, okay? Yowza.
