Sunday was a great day for our annual field fire.
Each year we burn a portion of our prairie areas. The fire helps to discourage the plants we don't want and encourages the native plants we do want growing there.
I enjoy being outside and watching the flames. If everything goes as planned that is all that we have to do. The fire puts itself out when it gets to the mowed grass that is next to the prairie.
The flares when the fire hits a thick patch of dry grass can be exciting.
It was a great afternoon. The fire behaved just as planned.
I like that the annual fire is something that the whole family enjoys. It is a relaxing work day and we come in smelling of smoke. It has become a spring tradition of sorts. Maybe we have an unusual definition of family fun.
What unexpected things does your family like to do together?
