Setting the World on Fire, or at least the brush pile

So today was brush pile burning day in Waterville. The weather report was calling for rain starting later in the day and boy were they correct. It is coming down in buckets at this point. It seemed like a good day to do the burn pile since we could count on it not getting out of control once we left it. It took a bit of hay to get it started but once it got going we spent the day feeding it with various brush piles and downed trees along the driveway. We also took down a couple of trees around the sawmill shed area so we could extend the area out far enough for any future expansion. There are still 2 or 3 reasonable sized trees which need to come down to make sure we don't have problems in the future.
Hopefully we can get some useable lumber out of the trees we took down. There was a lot more brush we could have put on the fire but it started raining around 4 pm and we were bushed by then. All in all it made the place look better.
