Fortunate for us we do not live within the city limits and have the opportunity for natural burns. With a simple burn permit we make further use of the fall off wood, this time generated by us.
Living out in the country, 25 miles from town, we do not have ‘garbage’ pick up. You would be amazed at the amount of brush and weekender fall out that makes it way to our 5 dumpster dump, located on the only road into our sub-division. (Don’t get me started on what it looked like after the July 4th holiday!)
Arthur is in charge of cutting the fall off into manageable pieces with the skill saw. They are then were placed into the backhoe front loader and transported to our campfire site. A slow fire dries out the wood and the ash goes into the gardens.

P.s. Arthur is in charge of the marshmallows, dark chocolate and graham crackers in stock! More S'mores!
P.s.s. The Pesto I made is already eaten! Its amazing what it can do for meatloaf! :) While waiting for the basil to grow back, I guess it time to start thinking about harvesting a horseradish plant or two....
