Fiery Family Night



After dinner last evening, Jeff decided to set fire to a small brush pile in the lower part of our garden. We have a MUCH bigger pile in our pasture that also needs to be burned, but we're going to make a party out of that. :) This small pile needed to be burned so that we could finish tilling the garden and plant some more things in it, and I was glad Jeff wanted to do that yesterday. The pile didn't actually finish burning last night; it got more trimmings put on it from my mom who was pruning some bushes, and it kind of piddled out. But it was a start, and it was fun. Why is fire so fascinating to watch?

I love the way David is squatting down exactly like Jeff in the first picture...and the way he's reaching over for Jeff in the second picture. When a big column of smoke is near, it's comforting to be close to Daddy!
