I Love Sitting By the Campfire

Another evening by the campfire.
I always find it fascinating, mesmerizing to stare at the flames as they dance and twirl around the wood. Sometimes it looks like fingers of flame caressing and teasing that which it burns.
There's something about sitting around a campfire with others that induces introspection and meaningful conversation.
And when alone, quiet contemplation.

I made a funny observation about campfires years ago, we have a lot of fires for fun in my social group. Most friends have yard fire pits. We have fires for every evening shin-dig, no matter the season. No matter what, at some point you will find every male at the party at the fire pit, while the females have wandered into the house. They all stand around the fire, staring at the flames, speechless, with blank stares. Since I noticed it, it has been true so often, it has become a running joke. I think it's a caveman issue. 😆

I would love to have an outside fire structure at our home. I love campfires. DH loves bonfires and burning dry Christmas trees. Yikes!

@CoffeeFirst I think I would too, although I wonder if having a fire more often would make the entire process less special. Or if it just would be more of a good thing.

@NewKidInTown My friend has a proper fireplace outside with seating around it. Don't think I'd get bored of that!

@CoffeeFirst Yes, probably not. Even the smell and sounds of a crackling fire...wish I was in front of one now.

I'm looking forward to fall. My favorite time to have fires outside and enjoy the crisp weather.

@ravenwind43 the crisp weather is already here. Summer seems to have come and went.

@NewKidInTown Still warm here but I am south from you 🙂

@ravenwind43 today was beautiful out. The sun was shining, but there was a crispness in the air, which I prefer to humidity. Perfect for walking around the town, which I did :)
