Bonfire

I had never been to a bonfire.


I went home for a weekend last year to run a Halloween-themed 5k with a friend, and because it was Halloween weekend, there were lots of fun local things to do.

We joined some other good friends for an evening at Unity Churchill Nursery, in Churchill, Maryland, for their annual Burning Bush festival. Guests are invited to bring non-native invasive plants for a ceremonial burning.

We indulged in yummy food, ice cream, and mead, and then headed down a long, dark, windy path through tall grass to the pyre.

A great percussion ensemble played music while nursery staff lit the blaze.

We enjoyed the evening in the crisp fall air, surrounded by nature and the elements.



That's me on the left.
