I was expecting to see a big burnt patch, or something.
They formed a circle around a roughly trimmed lawn, which had the remains of a campfire sitting in a burnt patch at its center.
There was a burnt patch on the wet cloth of his coat, maybe three inches across.
There's a burnt out kudzu patch back there.
We're on the edge of the burnt patch.
After such burning some animals begin to concentrate in the burnt patches and relish the ash and the partially burnt stems of the reeds.
With few winter showers fresh grass blades shoot up in the burnt patches attracting larger number of animals to these areas.
With the onset of the summer season the grasses in the burnt patches grow up quickly and the tender shoots turn into coarse blades, which no longer attract the animals.
A burnt patch allows fresh shoots to come through which are ideal nutrition for grouse.
There's a garage and the kennels and the burnt patch, like you said.
