  Yesterday was sunny and windy.  A trailer burned Friday, the fire spread into the woods.  Many departments joined Bradford to fight the blaze.  Forest rangers are montering it.  It flared up Friday night and again yesterday.  Wind blew things around in the nursery, dust swirled, our power flickered but we didn't lose it.

   I came home from church and took a nap.  Family stopped by to visit in the afternoon.  The church many of my grandkids go to had a church picnic.  Darel's family went but he didn't go, he and lil Andrew finished taping and mudding the addition Darel has built on their trailer.  Gilbert got two dressers and a nightstand for the boys' new room from a tenant that is moving.  Heavy ones, in the evening Jay and Darel went with him to get them.

   Watering will continue today, the forecast rain likelihood and amount keeps going down.  May your day be blessed, Sally
