So the first thing my husband and I worked on when we moved into our home was to build a fire pit. We live on the edge of the country so we can have a fire as long as its contained. And we do try are best to keep it that way, though when a two grown men get together and try to burn an entire Christmas tree, things do get a bit out of hand!!But alas our home still stands despite my pyro of a hubby sometimes. We just love our pit, we built it all by ourselves, and nothing is better then smores and chillin with family/friends. Oh, the smores that are consumed is amazing, well just last night we made over 40 smores for us and our friends. That's like 20 crackers, 40 marshmallows and 120 pieces of chocolate, I know good math eh! I will be doing a lot of extra calorie burning today, but that's cool it was worth it.:)
Everytime we have a pit I send out a text to all of our friends and just wait to see who shows up. Always different and always fun. It is just so nice to get people together, sit and watch a fire burn. Everything from goat milk(yes one of our conversations last night) to the end of the world get thrown around the pit. I have had some of my favorite talks in the light of a fire, it just seems to calm everyone around it and brings out the best discussions. I think Jesse would have a fire pit every night if he had the chance. I have found him out there in the middle of winter, all bundled up smoking his pipe and reading beside the fire pit. That is his element, fire and books...does his body and mind good:)
