First fire

papadave , we usually start burning September 15 but with the warmer weather we'll see when we start this year.

I just covered about a cord of shoulder season wood tonight.

 

Been pulling wood from the stacks whenever the rain stops for a couple days.
Now I remember why I prefer to have this done by now.
That's just about when we start too zap. Maybe the 3rd week. I'd like to wait a little longer, but that never seems to happen.

 

If you have some extra rain, send it because we need it bad.

 

Should be headed your way.

 

We have more than enough

 

I've probably got another 2 months:



At least it is getting less hot at night, but the humidity is still wicked. It is so humid that the dew was sufficient to get our wheat to sprout and put on a few inches of growth before the first rain came after we planted it.

 

Yeah, 88% is fairly wicked.

 

We had a chit load of rain hit in a very short time with some wind, thanks.

I have part of a Cherry tree down in the back gully, pics tomorrow. It's not huge but we'll add it to the inventory.

 

Glad I could help.

 

Sounds like the same stuff we had blow through Sat eve/Sun morn.

 

Hope that didn't cause any flooding.

 

Not enough rain for that but it helped out big time, our area has been in a big dry spell.

I was telling Sav tonight that most of the rain has stayed north and east of us until today.

 

Our grass actually looks like grass now, instead of some kind of brown stuff.
The dandy-lions are very healthy too.

I'm looking at our weather forecast for this month, Sept. 27 looks like the first night that drops to 37.

We won't be burning on Sept. 15 like we usually do each year. This coming week we'll be in the high 70's starting on Wednesday.

 

That is music to my ears! I am so anxious to get burning I can't stand it. Lately I have been sitting in front of the Fireview just staring at it. My kids asked why I was staring at the stove when there was no fire in it ... I told them the fire never goes out, it's just burning in my mind.

 

It's not nice to confuse your own kids.
Yeah Dennis, we're supposed to get 40 tonight too. Nope, 39 now. Had a small fire with some pine and uglies last night about 10, and let it go out.
If the forecast is right , Oh, I crack myself up sometimes........................anyway, I shouldn't need another fire until the 21st.

 

They are 17 and 19 ... they expect such non-sense from me after all these years of conditioning.
