Sitting around the fire

Last night we had a campfire.  We have a nice little spot on the west side of our house that is a ring of decorative stone.  There was also about 2 years worth of windfall twigs and branches from the trees on the west side of the house.  So with this happy coincidence we started a campfire.  We didn't cook or have marshmallows either.  We just sat and talked. We moved our chairs quite a bit too as the smoke was swirling.  Of course the fire had to be tended and encouraged and there were plenty of fallen branches to accomplish this task.  I really enjoyed the slow pace and pleasant conversation as we savored a mild evening and a fine campfire.  It was just my wife and I and one of our sons and daughters-in-law.  Fun.

This is not why this blog is labeled "Fire Garden".  More about that another time.
