Bonfires

Last night during our fall festival we lit a bonfire in this semi-finished chiminea thingamabob that my dad built. It's really fun throwing in big sticks and handfuls of leaves and making it go all FOOMy. And burning stuff is basically accelerated composting. And it's more fun than putting it in a bucket and waiting a few months for it to turn to dirt! But the problem with roasting hot dogs is that when you take it out it's burning hot but it cools down so fast that it's ice cold before you even finish. Oh and my dad was roasting a marshmallow (pre-squished!), and he turned to me to tell me something, and the moment he turned his head his marshmallow burst into flames. Lol!
