Jeanine and I spent the better part of the day burning off downed limbs that we had been gathering for days. Six hours of constantly feeding the fire covered half of what we needed to burn. In all likelihood, we will hire someone to chip the remaining tree trunks that fell during the winter and have them deal with the remaining limbs as well. Although the work was quite strenuous, it was also very satisfying. We want our property to remain very natural but are aiming for something closer to a park than a jungle.
