Ready, Aim, Fire....Explode

Scott and Charlie have an annual tradition of burning all the dead plants from the previous years garden each Spring. Today was the day. Last year we had a jungle of tomato plants, so there was a lot to burn. They have looked forward to burning stuff and acting like "real men." (See the picture.) Upon clearing the garden, they found a lone yellow squash hiding under all the tomato plants. Scott told Charlie to throw it in the fire and we would have cooked squash for dinner. Well.....it didn't quite happen like that. Two hours later, there was quite an explosion. We literally have squash seeds stuck all over our back yard. They also covered Scott. Hmm...very manly. :)
