Laura and Me

It's not hard to see how a forest fire can start

I usually expect the fire-building process to take a lot of effort
Careful planning
And good fuel

But here in the mountains and woods of Colorado
Fires start quickly

There's lots of dry fodder here
It has been sitting baking in the sun w/out water
For longer than I'm used to

But all I did was huddle some fuel togather
And instantly beautiful flames started dancing around
Higher and hotter than I ever expected

I didn't ever expect the fire to start so quickly
But I'm glad it did
And I will tend to it lovingly
