Spring cleaning can mean many different things to different folks...around here on the farm, there's always work in the garden and flower beds to get them cleaned up for their brief time in the sun...and in the outlaying buildings there's sometimes an accumulation of garbage to clean up and sometimes things the dog has misplaced during the snow & wind.
One springtime practice is to burn up the old, dead grass to see what's hiding underneath. You will see in this photo that is what we did...unbenown at the time, though. A simple garbage fire, left unattended, spread to take care of not only old, dead grass, but also the oldest building on our yard...the old log cabin (more correctly a barn) with 1 ft logs on 2 walls (which I was making plans for). The barn was behind the semi-trailer in this photo.
This is the foundation (cement-work) of the barn...as cement doesn't burn, it's left now for me to 'make plans' or clean up.
The fire spread quite far, and nearly got this "part's car" parked in the shelterbelt.
And no one noticed the flames, the smoke or the fire until there was nothing left.
