One of our favorite things to do, is to totally loose track of time while sitting outside around our fire pit. Its a time of music, laughter, roasting marshmallows or just silent gazing at the night sky as the wonderful aroma of wood smoke circles us. I had forgotten to eat supper so took a trek into the garden, picked a couple of beautiful eggplants, sliced them, dipped them in olive oil and chopped garlic, then fire roasted them. What a treat ! Sitting around the fire always feels so ancient a past time. I like that. Melanie, Casi and Mei-Ling stopped over to visit with us and roast a few marshmallows. Family is a gift more precious than gold, something to be treasured. There was a cool breeze tonight that felt so soft and delightful. Feeling so mellow and relaxed, ready for a good nights sleep.
We love our fire pit too..and need to have a few more family nights around the fire before it gets too cold. It has been cold at night now already and today I broke out a favorite cardigan sweater to wear to town over my standard navy tee shirt. I love autumn...and it is my favorite time for the fire pit gatherings too!! The eggplant sounds wonderful!!
Hi Dana, We just used pavers, but our fire pit is probably 3 ft deep in the ground. So the pavers are more for a foot rest or decoration than to contain any fire !
