This fire is burning just up the road from our beloved ranch, located up the hill from the town of Wickenburg. Terrifying!
It looks like it’s still a distance from where our house and barns were located. But…wayyyy too close for comfort.
{sigh} So…I guess I’m glad we sold out and fled to the Valley. But darn it! I still do miss that place…and the ranch house and the barns…and the horses and the cattle…and the river and the trees…and… {sob!}
It’s so beautiful up there! And the weather is soooo much nice than we get in the Valley…even a hot day is nothing like 110 degrees.
But…I guess whenever I pine for that good old place, I really do need to remind myself that it has some drawbacks. Like…raging brush fires!
