Another day at the farm.
The last 48 hours were filled with unexpected conversations, quick decisions and ash falling from the sky.
Another fire, another emergency, another day.
As we scrambled to gather our team, our guests, our family, our animals, and ourselves, life stopped as the fire spread.
We took stock of what is most important and tried to fill our bags and cars. We considered plans for our animals. (Auggie, pictured here, our Pyranees-lab is the size and energy of a small pony might need his own trailer.)
The texts from loved ones mixed with Sheriff notifications became our heart beat - open, close, open, close, open, close.
Remain calm. Listen to the experts. Be prepared. Keep perspective. Care for your neighbors. Go gently.
Life’s lessons real time.
We have learned a lot in the last 48 hours and remain deeply grateful and humbled by Mother Nature and Human Nature. We were reminded of how much we love being stewards of Campovida and all its creatures (except maybe mosquitoes and feral pigs to be honest.)
Thank you for reaching out with love and care. You kept our hearts open. ♥️
