The Burning Season

Wisps of smoke curl from nearly every valley, field and open space.  This is a small window of time when damp ground, the possiblility of precipitation and yard clippings coalesce to create a time honored ritual.  It is the burning season. 

Spring arrives shortly thereafter.  Like a phoenix rising from its own ashes, the greening of the 9 Mile Valley is about to begin.
