Monday, Feb 21 to Sunday, Feb 27, 2011: high 46, low -5

Friday late afternoon and into the evening, burned dead branches and limbs down by the chokecherry trees. It was snowing and the temperature was right at zero degrees. Crackling hiss and low roar, wood smoke and welcoming heat. The objective is to clean up the area. The process is to pile up the debris throughout the year, and then burn the piles when there is snow cover so the fires do not get out of control.
