Backyard Style - Outdoor, Backyard Pond and Birding

Some have called me a pyromaniac in the past ... and I'd probably have to agree.

Very, very few events are as mystifying and enjoyable to me as an evening around a fire with friends, family and food. All the better, if it is a chilly fall evening and I have to get closer and closer to the fire as the surrounding air get's cooler and cooler.

We recently picked up a fire pit by Cobraco. I shopped around quite a bit and read reviews on all of the fire pits before I chose this one. I felt that it was necessary to have a cover or mesh lid and this particular fire pit came with matching benches.

Albeit not enough seating area for the type of outdoor entertaining that I like to do, it was a really good deal to get the benches with the pit.

The range of fire pits that are available these days have increased by leaps and bounds. If you can afford a outdoor fireplace, than there are benefits to purchasing one over creating them. The mesh covering that fits precisely is one of those reasons. Don't fret if it's not in the budget this year, though! You can always make a fire pit.

A benefit that I didn't think about before I bought our fire pit is that they can be taken practically anywhere that you could have a bongife. Carry them to the Church picnic or outing (if allowed)!!

The way that firepits are made today allows them to double up as a cooking device too.

From a traditional pits to a modern brick firepit – you’ll find all types of fire pits available.

In closing (drumroll)....

My Favorite Campfire Song:

Let It Be
When I find myself in times of trouble,
Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
And in my hour of darkness
She is standing right in front of me,
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
Let it be (4*)
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be.
