All night I have been smelling something like wood on fire. I thought that is weird since it is blazing hot in here, who on God's earth would light a fire today. Well....
Around 10:00 I go outside to let the dogs out and notice smoke overcoming the half acre field next to our house. Then I see the origin of this fire. The freshly laid mulch underneath the trees. What the hell!
It looked like maybe half the circle under the tree was smoldering! I run inside and get a drinking glass full of water to douse the flame. No luck, I go back in side and fill my 3 gallon bucket up with water. Poured it over the flame and I'll be dipped in shit if it wasn't still on fire! I had to go back in two more times and fill the bucket up with water to put this mulch fire out!
Fire Marshall Heather to the rescue!
I can conclude that this is my husband's doing (cigarette butt). I am just glad our neighbors didn't see it and call the damn fire brigade! That is about all I need!
GIRL!!! You need a little less drama in your yard this week. Chasing dogs, fires...
