PARTY! Thursday's #610

[Karen]

Hee hee - while the fire is still going, can we roast some marshmallows? I think hot cocoa with toasted marshmallows sounds perfect this evening!

[Lady's Human]

Funny you mention marshmallows, the Webelos are coming over Wednesday to use the fireplace for exactly that purpose. They had a bonfire on the schedule, but the pack leader canceled, so we figure this will somewhat make up for it.

The tortillas SHOULD be in the works this week, if time allows.

In the meantime, it's downright cold here, I think I'm going to sit by the fire with the pup.

Gonna drag more wood into the house, I have been squirreling away little piles of scrap wood and have been firing up the pit in the back yard too.

I'll bend some clothes hangers and put more water on!

Done.

Is that what city kids use to roast marshmallows? We always just snagged a green stick - as in fresh wood that won't catch fire immediately!

Um, yes we did use wire hangers.......

We grew up to love and respect trees.

The only reason for a tree to be hurt or damaged was when our dad needed a switch to beat our arses.

REFILLS AND CHOCOLATE CAKE FOR EVERYONE!!!!!

Trees must be more sparse where you are. In the woods of New England, where I grew up, there is always brush, including sprouting trees that will never grow to maturity because they are in the shade of the parent tree, so too close to others, "trash trees" growing on brook banks or roadside - finding one green twig certainly never harmed the tree or the ecosystem, trust me! If anything, we were pruning them, which every gardener knows is necessary at times!

I'll take some cake, thanks!

Hot tea near the hot fire please. Cold here!

I grew up in the Valley. We had all kinds of trees in the yard. Lemon, orange, pine, olive and mulberry trees. My G-ma had pine, plum, avocado, peach, pomegranate and fig trees in her yard.

I thiink that the West Coasters have a different view on trees because of the 'sparseness'? We don't have all the foliage that other areas in the US have, so we tend to really overreact when it comes to trees - We love trees!

Cake and a refill! Done!

QoP,

Fire and hot drinks!
