My Granny Pruett used to say you could judge a man by how well his fire burns. Was this a dating requirement? A measurement to see who was most worthy?
Now compare to my sister's burning style. She always has small piles with good burning and safety techniques. She always has a fire under control.
This has been the only battle. Bev has a nice pile going and along comes Den and piled huge trees on top of her controlled burning. He is grinning and she is mouthing!
But the cleaning goes on.
