Just a quick note to show our backyard. Our backyard caught on fire this morning while I was at the zoo with J's class. When I pulled in the driveway at noon, two of our neighbors had hoses trying to put the smoke out. They said the flames were as high up as their chest. You can't tell from the picture, but the burned area is about a 25-30 yard diameter beside the playground. Thankfully our neighbors saw it and put it out before it reached the playground or house. I can't even think of how bad it could have been. I'm in a bit of shock now, just thinking how lucky we were and how thankful I am of our good neighbors.
