This morning, just before dawn, I went out to work on the accumulation of tumbleweeds on our fences that blew in during the storms we've been having: gale force winds but no rain.

As it happens, this probably would have been a good day to do brush burning: dry, windless, and cold. However, I've not gotten around to going over to the fire station and buying a residential burn permit. We usually end up only managing one burn per year.
