I woke up this morning about 9am, walked outside and smelled smoke and could see it, but couldn't locate the source immediately. Turns out that apparently a pile of leaves (close to the house) from around 3 years ago ignited fairly deep down even though the pile is from quite some time ago. That's a first in my lifetime , leaves just igniting from out of the blue early in the daytime. Only a few things even make sense about the fire. Either something within the pile of leaves was decaying quickly to create enough heat or someone passed through the backyard this morning (very rare around here) and discarded a lit cigarette. Of course the old woman immediately wanted to blame me for it despite the fact I'd been asleep the previous 8 hours.. (I'm getting tired of getting blamed for everything that could possibly annoy her which is an almost daily thing anymore and may lead me to pack up and leave..a completely different subject )
Anyway, a rather odd occurrence in the early hours of the day.
