The time to hesitate is through...

After the garden area was cleared, we had several large piles of sagebrush. I've been waiting for a nice calm day to dispose of them. It is amazing how fast and hot the sagebrush burns. It makes me happy that there isn't a lot of it near where the house will be. I also took the opportunity yesterday to fulfill my neighborly duty and burn the tumbleweeds that have accumulated along the fence line all winter. The brush provides habitat for small creatures, but it is a fire risk, and we don't need more tumbleweed around, so it has to go.

 The chickens were free-ranging yesterday, and one found an exciting new roosting location. Chicken; it's what makes a Subaru a Subaru.
