Celebrating

Evan and his mother invited Paul and me over tonight to celebrate the end of the third quarter of school with an outdoor fire. We brought the marshmallows, they brought the graham crackers, and we all brought chocolate and high spirits. It was a early spring beautiful night, with a clear starry sky.

While the moms chatted, the boys ate s'mores and romped around in the darkness.


I loved the way the fire in the tall can burned with the sticks coming out the top and the embers falling down through the rusted out bottom. So different from our own round short fire pit.
