Our town…no, not the play, but the town I live in, has a bonfire and hayride each October. I have lived here since September of 2001 and I finally made it to the bonfire this year! Both sons really wanted to go so we went. I was exhausted. Happily, it seemed as though every kid in town was there, so I let the boys wander and play. Plus there were three police officers on foot and one on a quad so I figured the boys would have to work really hard at getting lost on the trails. No one was allowed on those that night.
It was a good old fashioned night and seeing so many folks from our tiny town together filled me with a warm feeling. The boys had a blast. I suspect this has quickly become an annual event for us.
And here is the park without bonfire…it really is beautiful.
Happily, although the evening evoked Our Town in my mind’s eye, no one there was dead.
