29 Apr 2004 Beltane Bonfire Preparations

29 Apr 2004 Beltane Bonfire Preparations ~ Reed has been building our bonfires for more years than I have fingers and toes.  He and other volunteers clear the brush and downed trees on the land and we have a firewood supply.  On this bonfire pyre, notice that the remnants of evergreen boughs of Yule 2003 are stacked.

29 Apr 2004 Community Bonfire Circle Ready ~ In preparation of Beltane 2004, the white outdoor chairs have been carried from storage by the setup crew and arranged around the Community Bonfire Circle.  Soon we will be together in the chill of an early Spring night, sharing our stories.
