More burning today, always good fun. I felt like Hercules when I pulled a dead tree down with my bare hands.
Ok, I was wearing gloves. And there was rope. And my dad helped. Still, after numerous coordinated heaves, it was very satisfying when it thumped to the ground.
Not long after, I sat on a rock a few feet from the fire to take a break. The wind picked up and a stick about 16 inches long and an inch and half in diameter smacked into my shoulder, flipping over to hit my wrist.
"Ow!" I scowled at the stick, picked it up, and threw it into the fire. I turned to the woods and said, "Don't even think about messing with me."
Technorati tags: burning, feats of strength
I wouldn't want to mess with you.....action woman! It's really great to get everything done.
ReplyDeleteyou're so outdoorsy. :)
ReplyDeleteYou should try out for "Survivor!"
ReplyDeleteAnd she can even tame nature!
ReplyDeleteRach: action in all too small bursts, I'm afraid.
ReplyDeleteSizzle: Oh how my parents would laugh at that comment. Aside from burning once a year for 2-3 days, I spend very little time doing yard work. And I've never cared for camping (unless say, I'm in a hammock in a screened in porch ;)
Neil: Again, the parents would laugh, particularly mom who watches Survivor "for the scenery." Besides, a guy from my graduating class in college already won Survivor a few years back.
Mel: every once in a while. ;)
