Show me where you have a fire and relax.

Here is my current spot. I am in the process of buying some acreage but this is where I go for now.

Here is our spot in the yard. The bottom blew out of the chiminea after 5 years so we set into a fire ring. Now we have a fire ring with a chimney.



... and for the relaxing part - usually with a glass of wine or stout or single malt but sometimes just a peaceful heart - if we are out before full darkness and being quiet we get visitors -





Cardinals in the bird feeders come around too but have yet to capture one in a photo. They are usually there at the low light of dusk.
Relaxing it is.

I don't have a place to burn stuff in my yard. Always more concerned about ruining the grass that I spend so much effort trying to keep looking good. You know, I need something like this.

I live in an apartment in Vero Beach Florida, and we can't even have grills...

ShavingSharp my ex-wife was from Oxford Ohio, and I loved that place in the fall and early winter.

I live in an apartment with a fireplace, but this is where I really relax.
A couple of hours from home, but well worth the drive.

Most evenings I sit out, read and have a cigar. It's the time of year the fire pit gets going!

Nice :thumbup: some great spots above

I blame the hokey pokey and all the campfires of childhood we played and danced around. Always a fire is something I just love to be around.

At the back of the property, by the bend in the river, where I set up my cookpots and dutch oven.






First snow this year on the old deck by the house where I have a rusty firebowl. Great for cool evenings and early mornings ... especially wrapping up in a quilt over morning coffee.



These are two of my favourite spots here.

Like it Taldesta. Snow oh my. Beautiful. We just had our first hard frost on Sunday morning.

I think my unschooled photo eye and camera do speak to my sense of my world. I love an open fire. Can't tell the number of times camping across my country and yours that the fire has grounded me. Warmed me. Dried me. Lifted me. Fed me.

The fire is an imperative within us that is from all time past. My sense of it.

Hey Cate! Yes ... I loved the gas burner too! Wry humour yet true. I wonder if Montana is snowy?

Susan,

We have had snow in various parts of Montana for some time now. Especially in the higher elevations.

We have light snow, it is NOT deep, and ice right now where I live in the valley. The roads are slick in town, in rural areas and on the highways.

This valley doesn't get the snow and ice that I used to get in my former state.

It is supposed to get much colder this week.

Take care!

Cate
