My "Black" Friday

While lots of other people were shopping on Black Friday, I was trying to put out a fire I accidentally started in the pasture behind our house.  I burned a few boxes in our burn area and it quickly got out of control.  Oops. 

Several family members live nearby, but no one was home to help me. It ended up burning about five acres of pasture and a little section of my sister-in-law's yard.  It was very scary dealing with something like this alone.  I was very thankful when the fire department arrived. 

This is only about half of the final damage.  Thankfully, my in-laws and the fire department showed me lots of grace and mercy.  At least this part of the pasture will be nice and green this spring. :)
