FIRE !!

Our little Village of Carthage has an "AGWAY" Store, it's owned by Mr. and Mrs. Simons, and is now run by their Daughter and Son in Law,  It was a Feed Store, Hardware for Farmers, Seed for Planting but as Farms decreased they went into other items to stay up to date,  Every Spring they get in Baby Ducks, Chickens and also had Rabbits, Gold Fish and Plants and Flowers, Wood Chips and some Cattle, Horse, Chicken and Pig  Feed  !

Well the other night someone from the Senior Citizen Housing awoke and saw flames coming from the roof and took this picture after calling in a Fire.!

.

FIRE !!!!!

.

.
The front of the Store, Hanging Flowers, Mulch, etc !  Fire growing !
.
.
Fire growing in Size !
.
Totally engulfed, Fire Department was assisted by 6 other local Departments but could not Stop the Fire !
.
.
As the Morning came this is the Front of the Store !
.
.
Thankfully enough Water was poured on the Large Propane Tank in lower left of Picture to keep it cool !
.
.
 Fire Department putting out a "Hot Spot" that came back !
.
We are close to the Family and they said to us they were going to probably rebuild after Insurance settled.   The cause of the Fire was a "Heat Lamp" hanging above a Tank that housed Baby Chicks and  it either fell or shorted out causing the Fire !
.
We hope they rebuild as we shop there a lot !
.
Not much else going on except taking it easy on this Hip and Leg and doing my Streches, Exercises and putting Heat and Ice on it off and on and using ASPERCREAME with Lidocaine !
.  
We are starting to warm up outside but slowly, it's 63 now and 74 in the house !
.
.
My Honey out pulling weeds and getting ready for picking some Rhubarb for Pies and Cakes !
.
.
I am just relaxing trying to stay off this leg an Hip !

OUCH FIRE! One of the worst enemies of humans. In a big one you lose all. Floods you can save something, but FIRE Destroys. Yes we too hope they can recover and rebuild, every town needs a LOCAL store to support.
Take care of that body of yours, I think she nededs you around!!
Love from down here in the SUN! Hoping to leave soon, Sherry & jack.
