Fire Nearby

View from our front window as they were getting the fire more contained.

Well, on Monday there was a forest/grass fire that was extremely close to our house. It burned over 1,000 acres. The wind was blowing in the opposite direction of our home, so we were safe. Others had to evacuate and thanks to wonderful firefighters no homes were lost and no one was injured. I was home alone with Sage and was frantically trying to figure out what I would do if we needed to evacuated. Not much room left in my car with Sage and 3 dogs.
This plane is coming straight towards our house as it drops retardant on the fire. It was so loud in our house, having planes and helicopters so low right nearby.

Four firetrucks came and sat right across the street from our house. I think they were on watch for wind change and hot spots.

Now on to cute stuff........Sage in the bath last night. I'm in the second week of my photography class and am trying to implement some of our lessons.

We were doing this little photo shoot in our backyard when I saw a helicopter come right over our house with a bucket of water. I looked over my shoulder and could not believe the smoke that I saw.

A 2 1/2 year old and a sucker. Makes for a perfect photo shoot.

Last night Sage informed me that she would like to be called Sagey because "that's what everyone calls me". Hillarious!
