Lawrenceez,
Thanks, it was really dusty; I kept taking pictures of the dust particles. After this was taken I took my camera in to get repaired, not from this dust, it never seemed to work right when I had it on longer than an hour. I am going through camera withdrawal. Hope you are well.

Poetries,
I think they did a great job this year, the weather was perfect , the fields are now clear. I am so glad I was able to take that video. Thank you for stopping by.

William,

Thank you! I wore out that first camera after 8 months, this one I had exactly a month.. And its not working right, a line runs through it after I have it on for more than an hour.
Back to the store tomorrow, they may close up when they see me hobbling in again. lol!

I find it all a lot of fun. I hope you are doing well!
Gerardine xx

Heather,
After I wrote this I was talking to Michael, he pointed out, how tall the grass was around the burn pile. We haven’t burned branches or weeds since this past spring- due to this hot summer.

I was really surprised; he said I should have just looked in the mirror. Funny man! I have to admit, when I do try and light a fire, I lose my eyebrows. I still have them…lol!

For safety- I usually just allow the foliage to decompose back into the soil.

It has been a bad year for allergies. My husband also has bad allergies and asthma.
I hope you feel better!

Sharon & Dan,
Farmers won’t light a fire while they are harvesting. The air is too dry and the engine on their tractors generates too much heat. They do burn weeds and branches later. This fire was set by someone who wasn’t thinking.

When soybeans are harvested it is like no other harvest, the air is thick with debris. I never know when they are going to start; I always hope I will remember to close the windows immediately.

Have you shown the boys the video of the deer? It’s on Youtube. If you can’t find it, just Google me, ‘Gerardine Baugh Youtube.’

hope everyone is healthy and happy xx

I couldn’t tell ya what would ever possess someone to light a fire after the summer we have had. In our county we still have a burn ban in effect. Glad it was put out before it could spread and cause damage.
