Woods, boys, and matches...

Our first small steps toward opening up the heavily wooded hillside. Cutting and...

...burning the under growth. Normally the month of March is still cold and dry - the perfect time to burn. But this Spring is warm and wet. The vines and trees are greening too soon, so we had to get out there and try.

Had a little success.

Looked cool! Eventually burned itself out.

Earlier in the day I had K6 and K8 use a friend's gas log splitter on a bunch of logs that K2 had cut up during Christmas time. This week K6 will be using our heavy duty weed-eater with a saw blade to clear all the thorny brush you see behind him on either side of the road.

  2. Very cool shots at night! It'll look very nice when it's all cleared.
