One of Those Days

Bill called me this afternoon to go out on our screened porch and look south.  He was seeing smoke from where he was.  It turns out the smoke was just east of us where one of our neighbors frequently burns stuff.  On his way home for lunch, Bill drove by and found that it was getting out of control so went to the fire station for the pumper truck.  In the meantime, the neighbor was trying to get the fire out himself with his tractor but it caught on fire!  Another neighbor found him trying to drive it home with the cab full of smoke - couldn't see the guy at all.  So he got the neighbor out of the tractor and it's a good thing.  You can see from one of the pictures below that the cab completely burned inside and the windows shattered.  ***Our county doesn't have a burn ban right now but should.

Tonight Bill is combining the last bean field.  Will probably switch back to corn tomorrow.  No rain in the 8 day forecast.

There is a bean head in that dust.  Tim had it following Bill in the combine and I was following all with flashers on.  Moving to a different bean field.
