We burned the burn pile at the beginning of March. The burn pile was getting so large, and we realized we didn't burn it last year! Its new location is so good: even for as large as the pile got, it wasn't really in the way. It was the perfect day to burn it: Josh and I were both home all day, the weather was nice and cool and without a breeze, and the fire continued to burn really well through the night. By the next day, it was just a pile of ashes--shaped like a heart, even!

March's weather was unbelievable. It was so warm! We had a yard clean up day on a Saturday mid-month. Josh and I trimmed the cherry tree (Josh and Kanyon trimmed the apple trees a few weeks later), Kanyon picked up all the wood scraps from where we chop wood, and we worked cleaning up around the yard and garage. It felt so productive, and I welcomed working outdoors after being inside all winter.
Josh had one afternoon off from driving school bus, and he chose to go hiking to take advantage of the nice weather and his time off. He went up to explore Lime Creek. He hiked up the hill, but then he got a call from Ammon's mechanic who was fixing his car and talked to him for so long, that couldn't further his hike like he wanted, so after he got off the phone, he walked back to his car. He liked the view of Elk Bend and the river from where he got to, though, and was grateful he finally got to go explore an area he'd been curious about.
Our family filled out March Madness brackets and competed for fun against each other once again. There were a lot of surprises throughout the tournament, and we didn't do as good as years past. This year, Jonah came out as our winner!
