Rain, Fire, & Birds

Over the last three weeks we have received about 10 inches of rain - great for the plants but bad for outdoor activities!  The horses' pen is quite soggy but luckily Matthew installed boards along the front of the stalls just before the rain so the stalls stayed nice and dry.
 
Here is what our yard looks like during heavy rainfalls:
 
After the first five inches (and with a forecast of more rain) we decided to burn the largest pile of pine branches left from the logging operations.  The pile burned for days and now it looks like a war zone.
 
A pretty sunset in Savannah on a day without any rain.
 
 
Three weekends ago was Super Museum Sunday in Savannah and all of the museums are free.  Matthew and I decided to check out the Savannah-Ogeechee River Canal Museum near us and the Audubon society scheduled a bird walk around their trails.  We didn't see too many birds but it was nice to finally go and check out the museum.
 
Matthew's first birding outing with me.
 
A view down the canal.  It has a lot more water in it now!
