We have had a ban on burning all the time I was in Kentucky. We had a few days of rain just a few weeks ago, & right after that, my neighbor started burning some of his building junk right next to all the dry wood he had cut down on both our properties (to make way for the electric line). He shoved all the cut wood onto my property & it was just a fire waiting to happen. You can imagine my horror when I saw the fire not out very well & thinking there was still a ban of fire. From California, even a little spark can destroy thousands of acres. He dumped another bucket of water on it, but I was still so nervous about it, I talked to the fire department.....luckily they had just raised the ban, & were willing to come out & check the fire.....it was all ok to them, but I hope he doesn't pull that while I am away. I sure don't want my woods burnt down before we get more wet weather.

I am not sure I agree with the burning thing anyway.....it puts so much junk into the atmosphere I don't think it's a good idea even if everyone does it there.

Nothing like those huge thunderstorms that hit the area......wish the rain would be softer & longer than just plowing through like they do. But we sure do need rain. In the 2 1/2 months there, my grass went from green to crispy brown.

Tomi, will have to get you back to our country......the beauty is unbelievable,
