Bonfire       
Nov. 22, 2008

We had this pile of sticks accumulating over the three years that we've been here. What better way to "remove" them then burn them.

What better excuse for a party then a bonfire!

Originally it was planned for late October, but the weather decided to be uncooperative and rained on our planned date.      


So we rescheduled for November and got snow instead. 

Fortunately snow doesn't stop a fire or a bunch of people standing around it. 


We renewed our burn permit, called the fire department and got things started. 

With a forecast low of 20 degrees, people actually showed up.

Good thing too. The day and a half Jen spent cooking would have been a wasted shame on just me. 


Most people we know are prepared for this kind of thing anyway.

Boots, hats and puffy coats were the norm. 


And who doesn't like a blazing fire? Especially when it's blazing in someone else's yard.  

The snow (and Marcus) turned out to be an asset for child entertainment.     

Jeez. How many pictures of Jay rolling cigarettes by a fire do I have? 

Keeping the beverages at the right temperature wasn't a problem for this party.
