The ground was soaked; so were the volunteers. Some of our fire-starter (newspapers primarily) also got wet. Add in 96% humidity and the story of the morning was the fire starting challenge. It went all right on the first fire, while the second, at the bottom of a ravine, was tougher and took much longer. Lesson: keep your stuff dry.
Having said that, we cleared a significant area and worked hard burning what was cut. The maples at Willow West were bright and glorious, with first frost and peak fall color having migrated into November we get to view this spectacle farther down the calendar.
We canceled both our Sunday workdays, a good move given an equally soggy forecast that included the possibility of storms, with lightning, in the afternoon. Twinkies? Maybe for a day.
