Last Saturday, to celebrate the spring thing, and a couple of Birthdays, we had a whomping big fire over at the fire pit.
It rained all day Friday, the wood was soaked. But Kathy and the kids built a pyramid earlier in the day. Saturday was partly cloudy, so the wood had a chance to dry out some.
We started about sunset.
With an old recliner for kindling, it lit fairly well.
We had the pleasure of a red sunset.
You know, the whole red sky at night thing?
It was a delight.
The fire burned exactly the way it should have.
Burning down and falling in on itself, it blazed the whole night with a minimum of tending. and some nifty fire works.
There were marshmallows and hotdogs roasted. S'mores were made. There was dancing in mud puddles and pony rides. We sampled the new flavors of Peeps. There were: Sweet Lemonade, Sour Watermelon, Blue Raspberry, Bubble Gum, Party Cake, and Mystery Peeps. We found out that fire toasted Peeps are not so hot.
And Rose...
Loves Peeps
I liked the Sour Watermelon and Blue Raspberry Peeps. But nothing beats the plain old Peep for me, they're still my favorites.
We also tried the new Jack Links Peppered Sausage, and found them very tasty. We'll have to see about getting them for the next fire night.
It was a great fire and a good night relaxing with friends. A fitting way to welcome the season of regeneration.
