Must have been a nice big fire! As long as it was contained, fire can be fun. Bet the warmth felt good too!
We did that once when visiting Ms. B. I wish I had taken pictures of it. I thought I had, but I can’t find them.
It was pretty big but since it had rained the night before, the wood was still a bit damp. But you get a fire hot enough, it dries the wood out close to it and it just keeps going. There’s still a glow out there even now after the little bit of rain we got earlier. I can see it through the French doors.
It was fairly warm last night so we didn’t stand all that close to the fire. Didn’t need it for warmth. Just enjoyed watching the flames while we chatted. LOL
