One of my favorite things to do is to play in the fire. A burn pile makes me happy. So when Betty had commented about burn piles and probably not being able to do them herself.....
I got up and ready and headed over. I got all my supplies and tried to start a pile. I worked on it for a good hour. And it burnt but only as I fed it small piece and bunches of sequoia needles. Betty realized I was out there and suggested I work on a pile near the blueberries.
And so I moved and worked on getting that pile to burn. For an hour. I totally was beginning to think I had lost my knack for burning and was ready to give up. Naturally that is when the pile decided to burn. Betty brought over a couple of wheelbarrows full of old cuttings. Mostly we got the pile burnt.
And we had a lot of time to just gab. I think she was very appreciative of the fact that I had brought a chair with. I, myself, am past the point of wanting to stand around for the whole period of several hours while I burn.
