When we moved to our new farm it was the first area we set up and the kids/grandkids are gravitate to it at end of day, April through October. Lots of great memories around those outdoor fires.Donna OShaughnessyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08266654110280149719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3078806588853616263.post-57117662317719211982017-01-16T00:54:01.513+00:002017-01-16T00:54:01.513+00:00We built a huge bonfire for lighting at the winter...We built a huge bonfire for lighting at the winter solstice. The seven yr old enjoyed the small fire in a circle of stones we let him build.

I'm about to build a fire pit for summer BBQ's nearby, and have put a large frying pan in the caravan.
