The morning was gorgeous as the sun rose over Carol's fields, the birds were singing, the fog shrouded everything in mystery.

Calla didn't notice any of that, just the many bunnies to chase held her attention!

The party actually started the night before....

The girls had a slumber party with pizza and wine and brownies.

The boys had ribs, bourbon and was there a vegetable?

Don't let Paul see, but I think that is a purple martin sitting on the perch over the Martin House....

Parties always start with work but they are always worth the trouble. 

With Carol and Joe's beautiful house and wonderful meadows, Beverly's preparedness with tents, tables and table cloths, Mickey's flowers and Lynn's sendoff and presents and of course all the wonderful food -

we sent Jake and Sylvan off to explore the world.
