"But I'm not done smoking!" David cried as we took the marshmallow roasting stick into the house and covered up the fire in our new clay fire container. He had just finished catchng a marshmallow on fire as a special treat for Mommy, and he wanted to keep roasting marshmallows. Three wasn't enough for him.
We had no trouble with bugs on our patio this evening. I'm not sure if that's just becasue they aren't very active yet or because there was so much smoke. Some of the wood we burned was still a bit green. At one point I overheard Carie say, "Holy smokes!" Maggie laughed and asked if she said that because of the smoke. Carie enjoyed the response and repeated herself several times.
Last week a neighbor offered us a fire container at a great price (free), but we weren't sure that an aluminum pot on top of a semi's brake drum was exactly what we had in mind for our patio. We prefer the one we found at Lowe's today on our productive shopping trip in Sioux City.
Maggie announced with great force, "They're here! They're here!" She almost sounded distressed. "The lilacs are blooming!" And sure enough, they were.
Happy spring! Happy Mother's Day! Happy Lord's Day!
