A Fiery Send Off

Today, Mike and I were doing some yard work and were gathering a mounting pile of weeds and debree from a wilting garden, some dead little trees, and a mini grape vinyard. We are clearing out our back yard to make way for our agility field! We will both be so excited when we are done. We will have our very own place to train without having to drive 45 mins!

So, with the waste piling up, we decided that it would be best to burn it. We made a fire pit and got a grand bon fire going in the back yard. Given Mike's history with fire I was a bit worried, but we had "water" close at hand. We remembered we each had an item in the closet that was still linking us to bad past relationships. What better to finally put the past in the past, then to burn them!! Mike had a suit from Sherri that he never wanted to wear again, and I had a t-shirt that I had made to speak to Rob when I couldn't. I grabbed them, and we each joyously sent the items and the past relationships up in smoke and flames! It was very liberating, and cementing for us to do together, really solidifying our realtionship! The smell of burning polyester is really not to be desired thogh!

Here the fire is just getting under way...

This is Mike's suit before it hit the flames.

Mike officially saying so-long to "Crazy"

My shirt before hitting the flames.

So long to "Cheater"

Tomorrow brings upon more math homework for me and also trying to get some pictures taken for Christmas cards. We will probably try to get the flea baths done on the dogs as well.
