GETTING A FIRE GOING!


One of the major chores we face each fall is the gathering of the leaves and burning them away.  We had picked up all the leaves a couple weeks earlier, but the rains had prevented us from burning them. Then, to get the fire really going, Becca went around and picked up as many sticks as she could. We had to start a regular fire on one side to get the leaves dried out enough so they would burn.

It took all day, but the pile of leaves burned down to nothing but ash.
