Harvest Bonfire

We like to gather up all of our cornstalks and set a bonfire at the end of each harvest year.

Of course, we can't just lite the bonfire- it has to be a challenge.

First we shot off bottle rockets- no luck.

Then we shot off flaming arrows...

no luck...

nada...

Zilch!

Either the arrow wouldn't make it- or the flame would go out before reaching the pyre.

It was pretty comical,

and we didn't give up.

And then we moved in closer...

until we were just a few short feet away.

Success!
