Felt like the last burn was too green, so wanted to give this one plenty of time to dry.  Got the piles built in late May, which was followed by a very wet summer.  We finally got a dry week followed by a bit of rain for burning.  The piles seemed to burn well and I spread some tonight.  While it was raining every day we managed to get all the storm felled trees bucked and split.  Still need to reduce them to kindling and let them dry out, but things are moving along.  Took this pic before we were finished, probably added another 30% to the pile.
