Spring bonfire

We finally got around to taking care of the brush pile from last year. Darrell came by and Scott was up for a visit, which made it a pretty fun activity.

In hindsight, burning stuff in the spring is not as good as burning in the fall. Despite the weather being warm the ground was still frozen and some of the pile was damp and hard to burn.

Alden had a good time helping and playing with Darrell
The fire lasted through the night, although by dusk it was pretty well burned out... not counting the giant stumps that have bee there since 2007 and never burn. I rolled them into the woods and won't try to burn them anymore.
