Bonfires do seem to have universal appeal. I had kind of a hard time writing this entry because I’ve been to so many in different locales–at the beach, on my grandfather’s land on New Year’s Eve, at summer camp. It was hard to know what surrounding details to include. Good times, good times.

Used to be a New Years tradition to gather up all the christmas trees we could find on the curbs and drag them off into the desert, piling them one on top another until we had to use ladders. Sixty foot flames that clawed at the sky, could see the bonfire miles away. Heat the pushes everyone back, scrambling for the safety of rocks and ledges well outside the blast zone. I miss them terribly each year.

I can smell it, see it, taste it, feel it and hear it. Love a good fire.

Hmmm. I now have a strange desire to have a bonfire. Or at least put one in the book I’m writing. 😀

Thanks Becca! I bet some of these are easier to do than others. Bonfires would be fun because I think we’ve all been to a bonfire and can draw on our own memories! Great job.
