Warm Ashes

During this warm and sunny afternoon we decided, with the cousins, to make a barbecue all together to welcome back the summer. The atmosphere in the garden was as warm as the weather gave us this day: filled with joy and laughter.

The kids are playing all together, they play ball games, do some trampoline and play with water guns; while us, the adults are talking and laughing together while enjoying the meat just grilled. My steak is rare, as I enjoy it, blood is seeping out of it.

As the day goes by we all know we'll be seeing each other at the same period of the year to celebrate the warm days as we celebrate the birth of a child or even Christmas.

It seems that we are celebrating the rebirth of a Phoenix when it comes back alive out of its own ashes after burning itself down as the seasons pass as a cycle.
