I used to love burning leaves back East with my family in the Fall--before burning was banned there. Leaves were so much more funb than pine needles. You could pile them head high and ride your bike through them or just jump and play hide-n-go-seek in them. Pine needles are just a hot dirty chore...though initially they smell good. If you do your burning right, there's very little smoke--that's when the fire is the hottest and you have a gentle breeze to feed the fire with oxygen.Anyway, we've cleared our lawn for the second weekend in a row and cleared up the backlog when left over when the burn season closed early last spring. Now it's just a matter of clearing up in the woods before the rain or snow flies.
At least it got us outdoors and enjoying the sun and warm Fall temperatures. Time to take a walk and see how the rest of our neighbors are doing.
