What do you do after the boarding dogs have gone home and all is quiet? Burn brush! I am just waiting for the ground to dry up enough to lay down all of the felt and spread out wood chips. Until then, I’m trying to get rid of as many blackberry vines and brush as I can to *hopefully* prevent new blackberries from coming up.
If you look at one of the previous posts, you’ll see that there were large piles of brush in front of these trees…
All the brush got moved to the burn pile. Most of the day it mostly just smoked, as it is very hard to burn wet leaves in January! 
My dogs Yankee and Beamer were very respectful of the burn pile.
This tree is perfect for the dogs to pose in – Dixie did manage to get some racing stripes earlier in the day after walking under a board I was painting to build an A-frame. No worries – I only let me dogs around the painting projects
Dixie trying to figure out where the heck I want her for this photo! Good dog!
