Burn Baby Burn !



An amazing day up here......blue sky, bright sun and hawks circling above us.....just the kind of day that makes the remoteness of living up here worth all the time and gas it takes to get anywhere! Jim decided it was a good "burn day".......always just kind of an excuse to stand around in the sun and enjoy the human fascination with watching things burn. He did have a big pile of debris piled up and now the "lower 40" is all tidy looking and waiting for more cuttings and trimming to begin a new pile ! The sun has disappeared from that hillside now and it's gotten pretty cold , but it sure was a glorious way to spend a Sunday!
For Jenny...not so glorious.....burn days encompass two of the things she's most scared of in this world.........fire and the dreaded hose!!!! She spent the day well away from us ......napping at the top of the hill. Close enough she could keep an eye on us, but far enough away that we couldn't involve her in the action!
Last night Ross and Molly came up for a game of Scrabble......Ross won on a last minute maneuver.....and a King's game. Always so fun to have them.......a wonderful couple.....so much in love !!
Mmmmmm......crab, asparagus and swiss cheese omelets for dinner tonight.....we've worked up quite an appetite !
