I just found out my property is on fire!

Good thing I don't have any buildings up there. At least it will clear out some of the underbrush.

I did have about a dozen 55gal plastic barrels of water up there. Take that fire!

Normally, we have this same problem in Florida, however, with the jet streams being altered by the tropical storms
we are having the wettest close to summer in as long as I can remember here ...

Seriously, it's been sick rain here this past 2-3 months ....
No chance for wildfires here if everything is totally wet all the time ...
(Except in bed; but that's another story I can share with you later!)
