<< < (4/7) > >>

Keenan:
Wow Unbelievable, We had a couple real nice weeks when the south was in the deep freeze,,,Now we are back in it,  It is snow and blowing here today and a couple nights ago it hit eight below. :o  Had to blanket the horses again and break out the snow blower again.

mullet:
Keenan, It's hot and dry here, just like where ElD is. We had a 100acres burn up in town Friday and on Sunday another 800 acres went up. We have little fires popping up everywhere.

JustinNC:
El D not sure what the terrain and flora are like there but wife is from eastern NM, can't imagine a prairie fire there killing that much. I guess with winds that high, but with the fuel only being 10" tall, seems like it'd be relatively harmless other than smoke? I know when I worked for the wildlife resource commission we'd hop through the head fire after we got it going to get back into the black and it wasn't so bad.

Eddie you know as good as I do, if people would use fire every few years as a management tool, they wouldn't suffer when a dry or relatively dry storm came through and lightening struck. It should be mandatory to burn more than 20 contiguous, undeveloped acres every 3 years, especially in florida.

RidgeRunner:
It is spring time here as well.
Lost of things starting to leaf out and bloom.  
They stand a good chance of being nipped off by jack frost.

Eddie: Is that a Lowquat (sp) bush with the fruit on it???
          My Mom and Dad have one in there yard.
          The growing season is way to short for it make fruit.

mullet:
David, It's not a bush but a 25' tree. But it is the one with the green fruit just turning to yellow. They will be orange when ripe.
