It's Thursday, and I have the day off tomorrow. So rather than spend time sitting at my computer, I ventured into the backyard and built a fire in the fire pit! My daughter and granddaughter are coming up; lucky me! I am watching my granddaughter for the weekend :)
When they arrived, the fire was going good, and we toasted a few marshmallows as we sat around gabbing.
Here's Sadie sitting on my lap and watching the fire --
What is it about a campfire? Watching the flames lick the pieces of wood, the embers glowing and seeming to pulse. What draws us to a fire? Maybe its something as simple as a circle of people sitting around something that doesn't make noise, and you end up talking and sharing stories, conversing for a change. There are magic moments around a campfire, about the way the fire creates a small circle of light and everyone sits within it. The way a fire warms up the space; even when its hot here in the Valley, a fire still feels magical :)
If you have a chance, sit around a campfire ... it's wonderful :)
