Bob And Susan

This past weekend I burned our slash pile. It’s really hard work. Susan also found a couple more squirrel nests so I burned them in the backyard as well. Buggers….
The slash pile is now two years old so the bottom and middle are old and dry which keeps me from smokin out the valley as happens when you try and burn green wood. This pile also had our old picnic table as well as some of the basement ceiling I tore out  this year. Why is is so hard, because you have to rip all the stuff out of the snow around th eoutside of the fire and throw it on to the middle coals. You have to do it slowly because it’s very hot work and you can only put so much snow covered stuff on at a time so it dries out and burns up and doesn’t put out the fire. Despite the hard work it’s always neat hangin around a big fire.

This above was the squirrel nests.
