The weather finally cooperated tonight and our 6 ft. tall pile of leaves, limbs and twigs; known as “Tree Crap”, had to go.  A call to the local fire department for a ‘burn permit’ (that’s how you do in the country), and it was time to scare even the bravest of hot dogs away.

Here is the heaping creature known as Tree Crap.

This is the part that feels good after spending days raking and hauling Tree Crap droppings. (Notice roof line vs. height of leaping flames.)

I’d like to tell you I worked hard on this, but alas, it was my pyro-technic wife who took care of the evil deed!  (Hey, I’m the staff photographer.)
