How I spent my Saturday

You know you live in a small hick town, when you spend 9 hours......NINE HOURS.... watching a bonfire. Okay, it was really a burn pile. But STILL! It was a large burn pile.

David is working on building my mom a new house and they were clearing her property. And this pile needed to be burned this weekend or the burn permit expired.

And I couldn't leave. It was just David and I for most of the time and I wasn't about to leave him driving that tractor by himself. (I won't mention how many times I thought he was gonna tip it.)

And let me add that I was already exhausted when we started. So you can imagine how loopy I was after 9 hours. I was so tired I was seeing stars. OH WAIT, those were stars since we didn't leave till MIDNIGHT!

Here's a little recap of the day......

Getting started



WOW, now that's a fire


Riley, getting impatient
