Fire Permit
This looks pretty tame right now, but about 30 minutes before the pile of brush was high and the flames were licking the sky. Finally though, the weather cooperated. It wasn't too dry. It wasn't too wet. It wasn't too windy. I have been waiting for about three weeks for a burn permit, so our garden plans for the summer could move forward. Now, I can sleep easy. However, there was some collateral damage. We have a couple of birdhouses and a lilac tree lining the garden area close to the flames. The homes for our feathered friends and some perennials nearby survived thanks to my watering efforts when the flames went high. I did forget about the lilac tree, for the most part. One side received a bit of a scorching, but will survive.
And yes, Elenka did bring the damage to my attention.
She's always there for me!
Yes I am.
ReplyDeleteThat lilac tree...pathetic.
We did enjoy the wine and beer while watching the fire though!
you both make me smile..
ReplyDeleteHere ,such fires are allowed ONLY between november and march. From april to october , it's too dry , dangerous , and therefore strictly forbidden.
Glad Elenka has her eye on you . . .
ReplyDeleteBirdman, Birdman, Birdman. Before you set a fire, look up. Got it?
ReplyDeleteDid the permit indicate 'Somewhat Controlled Burn'?
ReplyDeletei don't like when the flames get so high and the sparks fly! (and i'm not talking about elenka...)
ReplyDeleteOh dear, you don't want to lose the lilacs. That would be a disaster for sure.
ReplyDeleteYou are not allowed to have a fire outside here in the city.
ReplyDeleteI worry about another wildfire this season. We need rain.
