Gorgeous weekend plans

Dragon Mood? -- dragon scales aquiver!

If YOU were a Fire sign and the forecast for this spring weekend is gorgeous, gorgeous, GORGEOUS ... wouldn't a campfire on the deck tonight be your first thought?

EXACTLY! ... and that's what I'm thinkin' about! Wood, wine and my honey ... and maybe our 80-year-old neighbor/lawn boy, Bill ... and maybe Kevin and Jack ... and don't forget Jeanne-less Joanne and Buster and Allie! However and whoever's there, we'll have FUN. You have a great one too!

Good Friday morning fire

Dragon Mood? -- a water Dragon who loves a good fire!

Rather than allow it to languish there, I am "post-"blogging this posting which I wrote in the back of my sudoku book last Friday morning:    I am such a Fire sign! Sitting here in the pine tree house, I am enjoying a fire in the fireplace this morning. Here's some things I'm struck by:

• I love a full, almost 'roaring' fire.
• I love the constant change of a good fire. The word, in astrology, is mutability.
• I enjoy watching the interaction between fire and its life-source, air.
• I love "stirring" up the fire ... and watching what happens as a result.
• Fires need room to "breathe" and thrive. I can identify; so do I.
• I welcome (as do most) the warmth a fire provides.
• I thoroughly enjoy the mood a fire creates: relaxed, peaceful, calm, romantic, exciting, celebratory. I also enjoy the 'moods' of the fire itself, whether that is roaring, blazing, crackling, steady or dying.

I just added a big chunk of well-seasoned hickory to the fire. The fire quickly embraces the dark, dry wood. Listening to its gentle roar and the ensuing snapping and crackling of the fire, I smile and revel in my happiness.
