Is An Outdoor Fireplace A Poor Man's Pool ?? ( NYT Pic)
When it is dark and cool at night ,
I light a lot of tea lights and I place them all over the garden.
Then I get the fireplace going, I curl up with something warm to sip on
and listen to music while starring up into the sky.
Imagine...this sky is a clear midnight blue,
and is lit with thousands of tiny shiny stars.
I am not feeling very much like 'a poor man' in a moment like that !
I think these difficult times in our economy will bring a lot of what is supposed to be important, to the forefront in our relationships , and in society.
I am hoping that what is of real value ( and I mean that in the truest sense of the word )
will begin to fuse with our consciousness and our unconscious selves.
I am not judging, this is my observation.
I personally have started on my own journey of adjustments , both financial and emotional .
How many designer bags, shoes, cars, and other things to we really need to live & be happy ?
Good health, Friends , love , pot luck dinners, laughter , my daughter, my ex-husband and my dog, my sweet horse ( Hershey )......
I would live inside the fourth picture.
ReplyDeleteRenee....we want so much one of these outdoor fireplaces! I did not know south FL had them too!
ReplyDeleteI love how you have the chandelier hanging from the tree....how very creative! What a blessing to be able to sit out and enjoy what God has provided.
Thanks for commenting on my blog....snow is good for a couple of days!

ReplyDeleteFor me a fireplace beats a pool every time! Love these images. Hey girl, how are you doing? We have to rendezvous when you are free. I still want to hear about your Carlton Varney interview. Sorry I've been away so long, hope we can reconnect. I miss you!!

Bravo. Well put. We have all been drowning in too much "stuff", methinks.
ReplyDeleteoh i'd love to have an outdoor fireplace with a fancy chandelier! that first photo is wonderful :)
ReplyDeleteTHose outdoor fireplaces are costly... soooo I don't know very many poor men with them... LOL
ReplyDeleteOutdoor fireplaces are nice if you don't have an are big enough for a pool.
I would settle for a portable firepit!
I have a tiny outdoor fireplace and I think that is a great chandelier idea. You sure have hit the proverbial nail head with your comments. I agree with you completely.
ReplyDeleteI adore out door living! and the fireplace, Oh, what more do you need!
