Who could ever imagine that a day by the fire would be interesting and fun? The whole day? But we did. Immediately after breakfast, Ken drove down to light a fire. The weather looked promising. I walked down after a bit, bring our lunch as I knew we would be a long time. We had four large trash cans full and we had been unable to make a fire the last time we were here due to the weather, so we were desperate to burn our trash before we left the farm again.
Ken makes good fires so it was pleasant watching the fire all day. Friends used the house a couple of times when we were away this summer and unfortunately something exploded in the fire and hit me. Fortunately, I was turned sideways to the fire and I was wearing Andrew's jacket which had a collar so whatever it was, hit the collar that hit my earring that cut my chin. After that we watched the burning trash from the safety of the deck while we drank our after lunch tea.
The rest of the afternoon we enjoyed the fire and the weather and our conversation. Bill T. stopped by to say hello and to say he can no longer cut the grass next year due to his shortness of breath. Time does march on!! To complete the afternoon, Ken opened a 1998 bottle of wine which we sipped and sipped until it was all gone. Great fire. Lovely day.
