Last Monday we had an exciting event. The annual Prairie Burn. There's a one acre section of ground that is allowed to grow prairie grass and every year they do a burn demonstration. It's the type of grass the pioneers dealt with and it burns VERY quickly. It was about 6 ft. high. There were 2 fire trucks on hand in case things got crazy. A couple of qualified elders set it on fire and away it went. It gave of a tremendous amount of heat. (duh!). Look closely at the picture of the ash covered ground and you'll see a skunk that was hot footing it across the field as the smoke cleared. I don't know how he survived the blaze. Next week for excitement we're going to watch the paint dry on one of the restored homes.
Just kidding, this was actually a fun thing.
