Autumn Fires

Autumn Fires
by Robert Louis Stevenson

In the other gardens
And all up the vale,
From the autumn bonfires
See the smoke trail!

Pleasant summer over
And all the summer flowers,
The red fire blazes,
The gray smoke towers.

Sing a song of seasons!
Something bright in all!
Flowers in the summer,
Fires in the fall!


The kids memorized this poem last fall.  I stumbled across it today and they enjoyed hearing it again.  I wish we'd memorized more poetry!



Friends and fires and smores - they all go well together.



The girls have really enjoyed our newly dug fire pit.  We've had a few fires already and hope to have many more this autumn.  




Our neighbors from across the cul-de-sac came over to enjoy some roasted marshmallows, too.


This is Kalliope with our next-door neighbor.  They are both 3 and already becoming good friends.  Hey, they both like cheese puffs - what more do you need in a friend?

Wonderful entry : ' ) I can experience the joy through your photographs... Fall is my favorite season and fires/s'mores and fun with kids is a big part of it!
