Cleanup has begun!

Cleanup of the fire has begun!  We had to wait until all the insurance was wrapped up before anything could happen.  It's been a long 9 weeks living with a pile of burned rubble in the farmyard.  For the first week we couldn't even look at it.  By week two we felt numb, and by now we've gotten used to it!

We are immensely fortunate to have my Dad Paul to help with cleaning up all the burned metal, concrete that needs to be removed, pieces of buildings and incinerated vehicles and equipment.  I don't know what we'd do otherwise, as we don't have the equipment or time to deal with this.  My Dad used to do this for hire after he retired, it is ridiculously hard work and he stopped doing it after the price of steel tanked. 

The second photo is a visitor we just had this morning.  We often see deer tracks in the yard but rarely see them.
