Being a Summer girl, I actually love it when we do the the last fire of the Season, as that means Summer is here - YAY!!<br />Millie ^_^Milliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15408461724832141163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244311262043750706.post-60267906917803179692009-06-02T17:22:52.522-04:002009-06-02T17:22:52.522-04:00We ALMOST lit the fireplace on Saturday night.

No rituals here in TX; never seem to have a change of seasons like we are accustomed to. You brought back some great memories though!Dumbwit Tellherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18148671166061931241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244311262043750706.post-31602730284868305292009-06-02T11:01:26.904-04:002009-06-02T11:01:26.904-04:00Tricia~ I think we get to use our fireplaces a lit...Tricia~ I think we get to use our fireplaces a little longer than some, living where we do.

I can't keep one lit to save myself.<br /><br />Joyce~ I bet your fireside visits with friends are all warm and cozy...and something special to munch on!<br /><br />Julia~ Taking care of last season's clothes is a ritual. And one of accomplishment.<br /><br />Jae~ How about a beach-side bonfire? That would be lovely!<br /><br />littlebyrd~ Take one more bath-and make it fun. You will now have a nice fire outside with that snazzy new fireplace.<br /><br />Purple Flowers~ Not boring at all!

I realized the other day my little boy is now at the age where we probably won't be taking baths together anymore and I wished so much that I had thought of that the last time we took one. Maybe I will sneak one more in ;)littlebyrdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00769222461364102029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244311262043750706.post-79843029393206915432009-06-02T09:24:16.185-04:002009-06-02T09:24:16.185-04:00I adore a fireplace, but alas...none for me.

I usually pack up the previous season's clothes and store them up in my closet.

If my husband were to have a blog, it would be all about logs, fire, chopping, building and making a proper fire. Our sons are experts. We enjoy fireside gatherings and s'mores. We have torches for outside, summer evenings, and a small fire pit to gather round.<br />pvepve designhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03527745630303158002noreply@blogger.com
