The Fire

Tim had today off, so we drove to the vineyard early. I had pruning to do and Tim had wine to tend. When we turned into the driveway we saw a fire burning over the hill, behind our property. I drove up to take pictures and was mesmerized watching the orange fingers of the flames crawling at a fast pace through the grasslands. Although the fire looked close I knew there was at least one road between it and me so I felt safe. It did make me think, though: we need to clear around the perimeter of the property. Another task to add to the list.
