Yesterday afternoon a wildfire broke out on some pasture land on the outskirts of Ashland.
A controlled burn of blackberry bushes at the Billings Ranch resulted in a fire that got out of control after winds picked up. Ashland Fire responded to quickly contain the blaze. But not until 5acres had been destroyed.


This afternoon I am going out to check some fences for a friend who is going to start breeding alpacas. It would be nice if the sun were shining but its cold and wet.
