March 10, no wind. Low winds predicted at 3 MPH for 2 days. I lit burn piles. They lied.
The wind came up, blew embers and the grass fire merrily caught and outran me. I had company over, she and I battled the flames, a neighbor came over and helped. From no wind to blowing a gale, it sure made me feel stupid. It had rained, standing water in the field, but dry grass on top. Oh well.
My friend had a blast. They are from Miami, been Texas a year and love it here. What an adventure! She is now a firefighter!
We got the fire out, had some lemonade on the front porch and laughed at ourselves.
Now the burned areas are green with new grass. The piles are semi burned, but big logs are still there. Maybe some day…
