Short update

 Remember this? 

The wall of logs, branches and stumps?

The fire department came out Friday and we lit it. They said for green wood - being just cut even though several of the trees were dead - it burned much faster than they expected.

We need to figure a way to get that big stump into the burn pit. When the tree people came Wednesday and Thursday the pit was already full. No good weather to burn. They did the best they could, but this stump is on the edge of the burn pit. It would be too big for our little tractor, even if out tractor hadn't decided to break last week.

Friday night it poured, and we discovered a leak in the little RV. Right over our bed, of course, haha.

So I pulled the bedspread off and threw on a dry bedspread and a mattress protector to keep us dry so we could finish sleeping.  

No flea market because of that. Got the boys out to see if they could fix the skylight.

The burn pile looked like this Saturday.

Yup. Still smoldering. There was still a good fire inside, but I didn't get a picture of it. That's the magic of a burn pit, I guess you call it. It burns a lot hotter and it's hard to put out.

But the fire department said once it's contained below ground, so to speak, it's usually not a problem any more.

And tonight, a thunderstorm and more rain. Will be interesting to see if the burn pit is still burning when we go out tomorrow. 

You all be safe and God bless.  :)
