It was a gray but warmer October day - the perfect day for a fire in our little backyard. Mama was the master fire builder. Looks pretty good huh? Fires always remind me of camping, one of our favorite activities, which we don't do enough.
Lunch was a simple affair of goat cheese on Wasa crackers for the adults, cheddar cheese and crackers for Sam and apples.
Sam, who usually is all over the place during meals, focused on the fire, sat still and ate. Maybe we should have fires everyday?
I imagine Sam is thinking - "Is she taking my picture?"
The fire made a dramatic collapse after about 30 minutes.
Dan's project for the day was to dig a compost pit which we could put our compost bin on top of to increase it's capacity. We seem to always run out of room for our kitchen scraps mid winter, so this effort will hopefully solve the problem. I feel we still need another bin, but space is such an issue in our little backyard. We already have a shade garden, kitchen garden, raspberry patch, sandbox, playhouse, fire pit and tables and chairs. Oh ya, there is a bit of room left to play - thank goodness!
Before the hole was filled and covered, Sam had such fun getting in a out of it! All by himself no less - what a three year old!
