fuzzy friends by firelight

the food was spread.
the guests arrived.
the beer got drained, bottle by bottle.
the croquet was played in pairs...
and we came in last.




easton made a new friend, M.
they entertained one another
while the grown-ups played and drank and talked and laughed.



and then there was a fire.
and more talking
and more laughing
and just enjoying one another's company.


it is so nice to have friends here.
we already have been more social and made more friends than the 5 years we spent in new lebanon.
we are happy to have met you R and D and R and J and M and J and T and J and S and B and J.
