Keeping warm in August

The nights have been chilly here on Long Island - unusual for August. Randy bought our family a fire pit and we got it out on Saturday evening to ward off the chilly evening air. Frank and his son, Anthony, stayed for dinner and we had dessert and conversation around a rip-roarin' fire. 'Twas fun!

Our new fire pit! Randy sprayed it with Rustoleum to protect it from rusting in Long Island's humidity.

Pine tends to smoke quite a bit. Here's Frank through the fog.

Mr. Higgins tried to escape the yard on several occasions. Here he is wishing he never got caught.

Anthony mowed the lawn for us that day. I think he was pretty tired by the time evening rolled around. Thanks Anthony!
