for the first time in a week it did not rain,
and i was able to burn some of the brush piles.
Being surrounded by 60,000 acres of standing
dead trees since the forest fire july 2008
makes fire danger still a reality. Plus the
wind is extreme now with no trees and branches
to slow it down.

i may roast a marshmallow or a tofu hot dog
on the coals! sometimes i like to put foil-
wrapped potatoes on hot coals, too...yummmy
hash browns in the morning is the outcome!!
