Well now this is getting a little ridiculous

I sure hope "barn fires" doesn't become the new theme of my blog. For the second time in less than a week, I leave the farm, head East, glance over to my right, and see a huge column of black smoke from a raging fire. This wasn't actually 5 or 6 miles away, though.

This was the view of my next-door neighbour's place early this afternoon--yes I only grabbed my camera after making sure the fire department was on the way. I wish I'd had it with me, it was a more spectacular fireball a few minutes earlier when all the wall boards were ablaze. Thankfully there were no animals inside. Now according to speculation from those like me who were just standing around gawking, it's unlikely this could be arson, who sets fires at this time of day? But,(adding this Saturday morning)it's obvious the cops haven't ruled it out yet(Update Apr 24th: they have now.) There are a couple more pics over on Flickr.
