How I love the smell of a bonfire... it just screams summer! We're having the perfect night to host some good friends and have a few drinks. It's a great way to just sit back and relax...
We have around an acre of trees (used to be a nursery, but is now overgrown) that we have our bonfires in. It has a large opening in the center, where we have a large tractor wheel for the pit (about 3-4ft diameter, so we can get some big fires going) with lots of benches and tables. Even though I will be moving out soon, I can't imagine not coming back here for some bonfires.
I have been having bonfires up here for as long as I can remember... over 10 years I believe. It is the perfect spot... it is about 1/2 a mile away from the farm house... so we always have lots of privacy. Now, that I am older that really doesn't bother me, but when I was younger it was the perfect party spot! (shhhh.. don't tell my mother)
Another favorite aspect of bonfires? SMORES ... oh the perfect combination of goodness. 3 wonderful flavors combined to create the ultimate creation. My fiance hates that I like mine burnt.. where his has to be perfectly golden. I have to admit, it depends on my mood really.. do I want it crisp or really gooey.. hmmm... I went for crisp this time around. yum....
Tonight's weather is perfect.. and so is the drink in my hand =)
Here is to Friday Night Fun!
