From Spring to Spring, this pile continues to get bigger and bigger. Each spring, after a good rain storm or before everything dries out, and making sure there is no wind, we burn the pile and then start again, gathering old stumps, branches, weeds, etc. to add to the pile for the next burn. In the past, we have on occasion made hobo tin foil dinners and put them in the hot coals. There’s just something about hobo dinners that tastes super good. I usually add hamburger, onions, potatoes, and veggies to our foil packets. Mmmm…..looking forward to the burn.
I don’t know how we accumulated so-o-o-o-o-o many weeds in our yard this year but I think the weeds thought our place was the gathering place. All bridal wreath bushes, lilac bushes, any cubby corner, and all our fence lines were loaded with weeds…..big tumble like weeds. You may look at the picture and think…………hmmmm, that’s not too many weeds. But, what you are not seeing is how they looked before they were all mashed down for the pile. I put them in the corner of a corral so they wouldn’t blow all over again before we burn. Since taking this picture, I’ve added a lot more weeds and pine cones to the pile. I love spring but it’s a lot of work. But then again, I don’t mind the work cause I love being outside in the cooler spring air.

That's a lot of tumbleweeds! A lot of work!
That looks like you will have plenty of coals for hobo dinners ha ha...Max
When you do those hobo dinners do you make the biscuit to go along with it? I always do that and everyone loves them. It is good to have hot bread with the dinner. You just add water to bisquick, stir in a clockwise direction until the dough goes around the stick or (stirring item) in a counter clockwise direction, then you make it into a patty put it on a piece of foil, make an indent in center, put a pat of butter and a spoonful of jam in dent. Wrap as you do your dinner and cook when you cook your hobo dinner. Yum--so good.
