Burn Day

Sunday had ideal conditions for burning the brush pile that has been accumulating since late last spring. The temperatures were cool but not cold. It was dry and there was almost no wind, although very light breezes that helped with the fire and with dispersing the smoke were present. So early Sunday morning, Lisa and I went to work on burning brush. For those of you who have been following me for years, this is pretty much a repeat of the past few years' burns.

This is one of the better times to do these controlled burns. There's a fair bit of new green growth around here, but being green, it's hard to set alight. Even the brush from the pile that has been setting around for moths needed some encouragement to get burning.

So the brush pile area was clear. Except that we were about to start building it back up again straight away. More about that tomorrow.
