Just call me "Sparky"!




It all started when...
-I cleaned the bathroom floor, using the last of the "Purple Power" cleaner...
-I decided to burn our trash, including the empty "Purple Power" container...
-I was just going about my business, filling the wheelbarrow with firewood...
-I heard a loud bang, similar to a gun shot...
-I looked behind me, and saw a small area of grass on fire...
-No problem, thought I, I'll just put that out...
-Then I looked further... and saw a dozen small fires, burning their way up the hill...
-I attempted to put out the fire with a shovel...
-And then envisioned the woods ablaze...
-I called my hubby, who called the fire department (against his will)...
-The nice firemen came and put out the fire!

All is well that ends well... I am thankful for our local fire department! (And I don't plan on putting any "Purple Power" containers in the burn barrel anytime soon!) :)
