Tending the fire

73 degrees at 6:48 pm in late March. There’s been pizza and basketball, and now we are gathered in the backyard. There’s a fire pit with a fire that’s reluctant to burn. But the fire keeper is persistent. Someone is making ninja sounds. Several random songs being sung at one time. Two people broke out into the same song at at same time at one point. Bugs flying up noses 🤣. Marshmallows on fire. Smore’s a making. The fire will cause a wave of sleepiness. The chocolate will counteract it with wild chaos. That will be fun for the mama with the toddler. 😁

There is laughter, and we are family. All is right with the world in this moment.

Short and to the point. Make time for these things. Make time for your people. While you can. ❤
