FIRE

We are fortunate to have a house today.  On Wednesday while we were at school, our backyard shed caught fire.  We have no clue how, the firemen couldn't determine a cause, but we do know that we were so lucky!  The neighbors behind us just happened to have a man working on a deck behind their house and he saw the fire catch.  Once the shed caught fire it pretty much exploded.  If the Isle of Hope Fire Department hadn't have acted quickly, we'd surely have lost our house.  We lost the shed and all of its contents, Cade's tree fort, five trees, and the swing set.  It could have been so much worse.  We're so thankful that we're safe, and all our animals are safe.  Poor Leia dog was a backyard eyewitness.  The firemen said she was pretty much freaking out!  I have a new appreciation for the power of fire.

75 degree weather in January was just the thing to encourage us to visit our neighborhood historic site, Wormsloe Plantation.
