What is it with bonfires?

There's just something mesmerizing...I can't find words to explain it. Even as I sit here enjoying this massive blaze here in north central Missouri.

It's maybe 50 degrees, but with little wind and a big blaze, it feels like a little slice of heaven.

The weekend ahead calls for nothing but relaxation, books, movies and quiet.

I'm writing this from my phone, more later.
