Tonight was trash-burning night. We have a garbage service but someone stole our can and it takes a while to get a new one plus we occasionally burn the paperstuffs anyway - keeps it out of the landfill and makes some nice ash for our compost pile. The girls enjoy it, even though I always forget to buy marshmallows! Lily suggested we strip, paint ourselves blue and dance around the fire like the Celts, but we decided it was a bit too cold for that and we are all far too modest anyway. There's something wonderfully primitive about standing in the glow of the moon surrounded by woods with the cats prowling around and the fire leaping to and fro like a living thing.
Lily's idea would have made for a fabulous photo opportunity I'm sure LOL It's a fab photo as it is, though, too bad there were no marshmallows :)
ReplyDeleteWe are not so far in the country as you but we do have a fire now and again. I agree that there is something primitive about it. Great photo!
ReplyDeleteBTW, I'm a little slow but I wanted to let you know that I gave you a fun award. You'll see it on my blog on my Jan 19 post!
Mmm, roasted marshmallows would have been perfect, maybe next time!
ReplyDeletegreat photo!
LOL--Lily's too funny! Looks like trash burning night is tons of fun :)
