Yesterday was the annual "Burning of the Brush Pile". We have a HUGE brush pile in our back yard. It takes us a year of clearing brush, trimming bushes, etc. to "build" this brush pile. After the snow storm a few weeks ago we had even MORE brush to clear out of the woods. This is almost a come as you are party. We have to call the day of to get a burn permit. Once we get the permit we have to call the local fire dept. and inform them we are having a burn. We've tried to have the fire for a few weeks now but either because of the wind or dry conditions we haven't been able to do it. Once we got the fire going we started calling people to let them know it was on go. We had a great time. Everyone showed up around 5:30pm. We roasted hot dogs and grilled hamburgers and had a GREAT kick off to spring.
