One of the reasons we go down here every fall break is to get rid of all the wood and branches and stuff from our work on the houses and in the garden during the summer. We carry it all down to the beach and make a big bonfire. It is hard work but quite quickly done since we are so many and we all help. This year it was done even quicker since a neighbor came by
with his tractor and helped us with the last part.
The kids have roasted marshmallows over the fire and we had a picnic and enjoyed a coffee and the kids homemade cookies while tending to the fire.
In the afternoon my mother, my oldest niece and I went into town for a couple of hours. We found some fun things to buy besides the groceries we came for. I also purchased a garden work of art I have wanted to buy for a while now. It is a goat .. made of steel and coated with enamel.. and I love it.
