The kind folks at Mountain Woods Farm came by this morning to thank first responders from yesterday's fire. They brought fresh eggs, and.... A BABY GOAT!!!! From the looks of it, this little cutie sure brought some smiles and cheer!! Thank you Mountain Woods Farm!! ❤️😍❤️Living in the mountains of Colorado, one of my biggest fears is fire.
Yesterday morning I heard screaming for help, ran out on our deck, and saw a black smoke plume. I called 911 and was told crews were already in transit.
I immediately sprung into action by getting all the animals ready to evacuate. Thankfully, we never had to leave. We are SO lucky. Crews stayed through the night to ensure our safety.
How do you thank these hero’s for working tirelessly all day into the night? The answer is you truly can’t. But I had to do something!
So, this morning I collected a few dozen fresh eggs for breakfast for Elk Creek Fire Department and brought along a baby goat for them to cuddle. So grateful to these hardworking men and women. They were exhausted.
