Home Wreckers

Today our family prepared for spring with some clean up in our yard. We raked and swept and pulled out old plants. Trimmed, raked some more and best of all we burned our ditch banks. For my city slicker friends who have never had the pleasure of burning ditches let me just tell you, it is a rare treat. This year especially we realized amazingly large amount of mice that had burrowed in for the winter. Now that we've destroyed their homes and leveled the back pasture to a crisp black we are tired, hungry, smelly and ultimately... home wreckers.

I too have enjoyed a bit of burning this spring. Oh the joys of living in the country!
