Fire in the Hole

Saturday Billy & I decided to get a burn permit and burn off some old piles that have been building up for awhile. We had a nice little place burned off and just kept adding stuff to the pile. After a couple of hours we just lit the "other" pile to speed the process up...no biggy. We figured we were done so we doused the fire with a whole lot of water. We went to Jenn and Eric's for a bar-b-q with Marge, Raul, Derek, Nicole and the girls. Billy thought he should check the fire so he went home which was good cuz it had flared up again. He doused it again and came back to the party. We doused it again before we went to bed at midnight. Thank heavens our neighbor had an early morning water turn cuz he called us at 4:00 a.m. and informed us that we had a fire in the back yard hence the following pictures..

the other side of the fence, just feet away from where we have our chickens. I bet they were thinking "KFC here we come"
the other side of the field, thank heavens for wild trees.
