Backyard activity

Recently, Ed did a lot of trimming/pruning and cleaning up of brush that was laying around in the back yard. We decided to burn some of the old, seasoned wood to clear out some space for the new trimmings. In London you can burn cuttings during the day. I was really surprised as in the States most places ban burning, esp in cities. We had a nice hot dog roast followed by s'mores.
The girl on the right in the picture below is Nina. She is 16, from Germany, and is living with the Thiessens who know her family. She is wanting to improve her English and so is going to school in London. She has a lot of energy and is fun to have around here.

I bet no one cooked chicken over the fire. Ha ha!

Now I know what our s'mores have been missing-the glass of wine! Looks like fun!
