Fire |
We are watching the weather, the wind and the plants in the garden, hoping to get a burn done in the next week or so. I saw that lots of Virginia Blue bells were up. That means we would have to avoid burning in those areas. It is a lucky window that opens and allows a burn in these times. It might be that this year we do a very restrained and restricted burn, if any. FYI. |
