So here at the our house we are in the middle of our annual spring "snowing" season. We have a lot of willow trees in our backyard and every spring when they pollinate, they give off these little fluffy cotton "puffs". We call it "snowing' because it looks like it's snowing as they float gently to the ground. It is actually really pretty, but oh so annoying. If you have allergies, you just can't get away from it. If you leave the windows down in your car, the fluff fills your car, and then blows everywhere when you drive it again. If you leave the garage door open it fills the garage, and eventually makes it's way into the house. It also builds up in little piles against things. this time of year there is usually a layer of white fluff lining the edge of the entire lawn.
Brian, being the resourceful fellow that he is, has devised the best and quickest way to rid us of our little fluffy invaders. ( I apologize for the sideways video. I forgot when I was shooting it that my computer absolutely will not let me rotate video files from my camera!)
Apparently, he has been doing this for years, but I don't remember seeing him do it before this year. I think it's really cool to watch the way the flame just travels down the cotton like a little line of Gasoline! And it's also a major plus that the grass doesn't burst into flames!
