Outdoor fire!

That not much meat but I guess it will do.

 

It was perfect!

 

Dinner was cooked over the fire tonight. S’mores also

 

Funny pic. You can't see the snow on the ground there.....

 

Actually the ground is covered for the first time this year with maybe a inch of snow from last night. First of the year other that a couple dusting.

 

Friday was a great day at “work”

 

Lunch over the fire today. Ash and honey locust

 

What’s going on inside that tree?

 

We were(maybe somewhat recklessly) setting some mortar style fireworks off at our camp and a hour or so later I noticed that a hole in the tree was glowing. We decided to just let it go and see what would happen. This is what happened:

Was up in the morning sitting around drinking coffee and heard it let go. Was a dead tree I was going to drop anyways and nothing was in the way. Lucky shot with a mortar round!

 

Annual burning of the trees!

 

Is that a pile of old Christmas trees?

 

Tarps in background to keep heat somewhat contained. For the wife not me. Picture was night before the blizzard 5 weeks ago

 

Yep. Go collecting trees every year for my buddys winter fest party. Decorate the yard with them then burn them throughout the night. Pretty light tree year, only had 65. Two years ago we had 170. He has 3 burn barrels around the yard that we stuff trees into and a open pit fire too. The collecting of the trees is usually a fun couple nights too, always turns into a party.

pretty ridiculous load we had here between my truck and trailer. She was stuffed full, had em wedged between the truck and trailer on the tongue. Good thing it was late at night and we weren’t traveling far or fast.

 

Tonight’s dinner. Not sure if they were really that good or it was cause of the bourbon.

 

Me and the kiddos, roasting marshmallows to make s’mores. Wife was the one that took the pic.

 

Thank you!!!!

 

Had the granddaughter and neighbors girl over and it was Smore day!
