| The Gathering of the downed wood for kindling |
 |
| Deciding just how to build the fire |
 |
| Later, making the fire bundle with a striker and some fluff on bark |
 |
| The bundle on top of the fire. Dry Pine needles go on that, and the embers fall through to the other dried kindling that is beneath. |
 |
| The evening campfire. This isn't a cooking fire but the small alcohol stove was made for that. It's sitting on a stone in front of the fire. DH and the DDs made their morning coffee on that little stove. |
Tomorrow I will show some back country cooking but for now, I want to show you a blue bug that was found somewhere on a hiking trip, probably not in this particular wilderness of snow and ice.

| He looks upon you fiercely! |
 |
| And he looks determined to defend himself against all things, Great or Small. |
Ok. I am off to pick up my sister. We will then have a good chin wag, watch some documentaries on food, and water my garden. I don't think I'll have the energy or time to knit until tonight but I did get 10 minutes in this morning, Yayme!
I am still quite worried a friend who lives in the woods of NJ. Say some prayers for a sweet gal named Sandy, if you have a spare moment? UPDATE: I heard from her, and she is ok. Lots around her is not, but she and her hubster are A-ok. Thanks for those prayers, too!
I am going to bed! Nighty night!
They have such beautiful curly red hair!
ReplyDeleteSorry for the delay in replying to your comment (which by the way you left on my very old blog).
ReplyDeleteYes, I will be posting again soon, I figured that if I set the blog to invite only, I'll be much more inclined to write about lots of things, so will be doing that soon.
I too, have missed you, have looked in a few times but things are very busy here and my mom is very ill, I am back and forth stateside and Europe at the moment.
Will let you know when I get back to posting soon.
Hugs,
Karen
Tati, I am so sorry that it took me so long to find your comment once I lost it. I tried to go to your page but alas, I can't register or log in there. I am sorry that your mother was very ill. I really dropped the ball there.
ReplyDeleteKara, thank you, and yes, all the girls have that beautiful, curly Irish hair but Elle is brunette.
