Pasture burning and turkeys

Grant got his turkey this year! I will put the picture at the bottom of this post, so if you don't want to see a picture of him with his dead turkey, don't scroll down all the way. He is very proud! And Gus (our dog) was VERY interested in the bird since this is his first turkey season.

Yesterday we did some pasture burning! Three pastures to be exact. Grant and Kara rode on the four-wheeler and lit the fire, while Vern, Derek and I went behind and put out the backburning - Derek with his spray gun and me with my shovel!

Grant started burning the first pasture.

Vern driving and Derek spraying out the backburn.

The pyromaniacs.

Me with my trusty shovel!




More fire control along the ditch.


Makayla was VERY excited about watching the fire. She also loved "driving" the truck with Grandpa.

We got a neat sunset while burning the last pasture of the day. Too bad the smoke covered it up!

Grant and his turkey, and Gus wanted to get it. Oh the memories we make!
