Burning the ditch

After we were done with the new calf Donna and Michael left.  Since the wind was light and in the right direction I decided to start burning the ditch.  I usually do it every Spring but last Spring I got sidetracked on other projects.  Then it was either rainy or very windy.  Then the grass greened up and really grew.  So I didn't burn the ditch last year.

I got the ditch north of the driveway burnt.  This needs it the most as there are long needled evergreen trees near the ditch and they shed some of their needles and pinecones into the ditch.  I also burnt the ditch south of the driveway.  Or half of it as I only made it down to the gate area.  It was too late to burn the rest of the ditch.

South of the driveway

This week is forecast to be cooler and with a chance of rain or snow every day.  Who knows when I can get the rest of the ditch burnt.
