2013 Bonfire 3

Last Wednesday, August 21, Tammy and I burnt for the year, tree stump number three.  This was a small stump that had worked its way up out of the ground as the top started peaking through the dirt a few weeks ago.   This is an area I walk frequently and I never saw a tree or tree stump here before.

Since it was a smaller stump it didn't take as long as usual to dig around.

I had to put a 'crazy in heat' heifer in the loading corral so we got a later start.  It was dark by the time we got to the stump.  We still had to toss tree branches and stuff to burn around the stump.

It was a nice night with a full moon.

We had a bottle of wine.

We burnt the stump down in three hours.

Before...

After.

Sitting near the fire at the start.

The embers cooled down quick and I filled the dirt back into the hole yesterday.
