Two acres with lots of trees means lots of sticks and fallen branches that must be dealt with to keep the area mowed. The weather on this Labor weekend has been perfect for picking up sticks and then having a bonfire of the first of many batches. I love being outdoors, sweating and the functional exercise. After so many years of being reasonably sedentary, this opportunity to be constantly active is just what I was looking for…
This represents about 90 minutes of activity – sweeping around the burn site about 50 feet. We attach a small trailer to the mower to gather sticks further away and then bring them to the burn pile to unload.
It was a little harder than usual to get the pile burning but once it got going it burned hot. Carli got to participate in the experience.
Today we will create another pile of sticks.

Great memories of doing this with my family as a kid! Dad would cut brush out of fence rows on the farm and we would drag it to burn pile which led to roasting hot dogs!!
