The Wood Pile Is Gone

For almost a year there has been a large pile of limbs and branches from trees cut and or collected around the farm.  For some reason every time Tim and George tried to burn them there were several branches and limbs that just would not burn.  They tried everything and then burn season was over for a while so they had to wait.  Well in getting rid of the plum trees that were affected by black knot they needed to be burned.  What better place to burn them but on a pile of branches that also need to get burned.  Tim worked and worked trying to start the pile on fire.  Short of using a blow torch he finally built a small campfire and finally the pile burned and very quickly.  By the time George pulled the first black knot infested plum tree up from the orchard the pile was nearly gone but there were some nice coals that allowed the three infested to trees burn also.  Mission accomplished... the pile is gone!
