That's true, Janet. That's why the farmers burn off their pastures in the springtime.

As long as you didn't lose anything important (buildings, hay, etc) then the fire wouldn't damage your land, Gayle.

Yesterday was a calm day and I could smell smoke in the air so someone must have burned off their pasture. This morning the yard REALLY smells like smoke and it's very windy. I sure hope that the fire from yesterday didn't start up again because Glen's out of town for the day. I think that I'll check with my SIL about it before I go out of town. He's a rural fire fighter. We have a lot of grassy pasture south of our house.
