Burn baby burn

Yesterday was "Burn-The-Burn-Pile" day.

All.  Day.  Long.

I went out there at 8:00 a.m.  Came in a little after 4:00.

Sorry there are no before pictures but imagine the following.  In the middle of the pile are wood poles and, I think, railroad ties. The poles are from previous berry vines, about 6" in diameter and 6' long. Between the poles and ties I'm guessing about a dozen. Then throw in at the west side of the pile there are blackberry vines intertwined with weeds (some thistle, oh hooray).  At the east end are various yard clipping and leaves. On the north side was a bunch of crap: an "artistic ladder," some other wood things (like two lathed poles). 

Worst part was down into the lower northwest section.  I think the prior owner was doing some compost layers.  A pretty good job, really: some sod, layered with branch cuttings. But it didn't belong with the burn pile. Oh, and more berry vines roaming through the mess.

So now we will start a new pile.
