Arctic. What’s better than a fire?

The wind finally eased down a bit but the arctic blast was still on. With chilly temperatures outside, what’s better than a nice fire? A fire with marshmallows!

Jolan had been asking for a number of days now but with the wind it has just not been possible. She was very pleased.
