Tearing Down the Raised Boxes


     Jeff and Wally decided today was a perfect day to start tearing down the rotten garden boxes and burn them.  Wally brought up his burn barrel and they started taking the first row of boxes apart and  
feeding them into the fire in the barrel.  Eventho the wood was wet...and rotten...the box parts burnt nicely, sending up bellows of white smoke. I
asked if they were sending smoke signals or electing a Pope.  Wally and Jeff compared lawn tractors (ours is newer) and Wally finds it hard to believe how few miles our has on it!  (Less than 60 hrs of use and it's 10 yrs old!)  Jeff sent me down to Tractor Supply to get the small cart to complete the ensemble.  It does seem a lot easier to put things in the cart and drive it to the burn barrel than having to drag them over to it.   Fanny and Zoey ran around the yard keeping an eye on the guys while exploring between the boxes.  I don't know how long it will take to burn all the boxes but they were busy and happy today...guys and dogs.
