Burn, burn, burn

 
In July, we started loading up blackberry canes to burn. Beth was here for that too, and wanted to see all of our hard work burn up. 

This was July, everything is much greener now.

As the months passed we added more and more to the pile. Then started a second pile. Due to the hot dry summer, the county expanded the burn ban. Thankfully it was lifted last week, before Beth had to go home. And before the pile got too big.

During our prepurchase inspection, we saw this scary pinata in the attic.  Then the previous owners left it in the shop. John wanted to take it to the dump, but I convinced him we needed to save it. And dispose of it properly - on the burn pile.  He didn't need much convincing.

We did what any reasonable person would do. We stuffed the pinata with sawdust and diesel.

Then had Odin pose for scale.

She took a minute to catch.

Then burned hot and fast
