We had a bit of excitement the other day.

Yes, that’s the husband walking our road with a policeman.

.

.

They were picking up debris from an accident that happened right in front of our house.

.

.

A woman fell asleep at the wheel, went off the road, drove at least 500 feet in the ditch…

.

.

Took out two mailboxes…

.

.

Spun around and landed in our farming neighbor’s field.

.

.

Thankfully she wasn’t hurt.

.

.

But if you know anything about small town volunteer fire departments, you know everyone showed up.

.

.

She was checked out by paramedics and given the okay to leave.

.

.

And I hope she realized how lucky she was. Lucky she didn’t hit any of the 5 telephone poles in her path, lucky no one was driving on the other side of the road, lucky no one was walking their dog and lucky she entered the field on level ground instead of the small hill that would have flipped her.

A broken windshield and busted mirror could have been a whole lot worse.
