    The big reason for making it that big is so we can get rid of a whole bunch of pine we have from the clearing for the new garage I did in 2018 and it's wide enough that during the winter I can drop the plow inside the fireplace so I can back drag the snow out, before I coundn't.

    We did get some rain overnight but with the sun and the wind things dried out pretty quick so I stopped burning. It looks like Friday and Saturday will be our next time we'll get rain unless things change.

    I did start cleaning up more of some Ash tops from this year, I should have the rest in picture 0471 over to the fireplace tomorrow.

    I split two smaller dry pine that I felled for kindling for the fireplace and another five loads that was bucked up last fall, it's all at the fireplace. I'm hoping we get the rain they're calling for tonight and tomorrow so I can start burning.

    The rains came in after three and stopped around supper time so tonight I burned some pine, the rains came in again so I called it a night. It's still burning pretty good with a steady rain coming down.

    We had a steady rain later yesterday and last night so I burned a bunch of pine again today.
