That February Thaw gave us a glimpse at our yards that have been buried all winter and many of us thought of a few landscaping and yard projects we would like to make this spring to enjoy this summer. That is the magic and beauty of a February Thaw. It helps our minds look forward in time and mentally prepare for those projects we want to do with our spring fever energy.
So, lets think about fire pits.
There is magic in a crisp evening and the crackle of a fire giving off its warmth. A few marshmallows and a Hebrew National dog are a good addition to a marvelous evening. If you don't already have some kind of fire pit, it's time.
There are professional custom built, pretty nice fire pits and there are do-it-yourself custom built, pretty simple ones. Whatever floats your boat and your debit card.
It's pretty simple to whip one together with some gravel and landscaping blocks, or even some cinder block and old barrels. The result is about the same - friends, family, laughter, memories, stories, jokes, burnt marshmallows.
One of the most appealing elements of a fire pit is it's environment and overall ambiance of the area you place the fire pit. You can go for structured and precise with everything in place or more relaxed and casual with an anything goes feel.
As we finish off the late winter and early spring season, let your mind think ahead to warmer days and get those mental projects figured out and put down on paper. If you have a plan on paper, you can get some preliminary shopping completed so when those warmer days appear, you will be ready to get that fire pit dug and laid out. The more you mull ideas around in your head, the better they become. You can figure out the best placement in your yard, the best products to use to get the desired outcome, and the best alterations to make it just how you want it.
