Fire break

Utah is literally burning down this summer. It has been so hot and dry . . . and windy!

This is the view behind our house that makes us a little nervous to leave for very long, especially over the 4th. Even though fireworks are banned you get some non-compliant people out there.

One year while living in Stansbury, we were gone on the 4th of July and came home to discover that our neighbor's fireworks had burnt several holes in our trampoline and lit a couple of bushes on fire.

So we put in our own fire break. Actually, it's been part of the plan all along, but our landscapers sure finished at an opportune time.
