I'll admit. I'm a little tired today. I'm tuckered out from being up until PAST midnight last night partying like it was 1865! Partying "G" style that is... as
I was a responsible Mama to our little boys who stayed up as late as Farmer J and I... all fueled by fun, sugar, a pre-party nap and excitement!
Our lovely landlords, "Mr. Jim" and "Miss Mary" (as the boys refer to them... so its really the only way I think of them as well), along with their equally lovely grown children, family and friends, put together an amazing outdoor farm dinner and dance last night! Who knew that being rental tenants would come with such perks? Actually, I had a sneaking suspicion, after first setting foot on this property, that amazing memories would come to our family here!
I'll have more details about the party to come as soon as Farmer J uploads our pictures to the computer (these iphone pictures are to "tempt your tastebuds")!
Let's just say:
pig roast
homemade pies
plenty of beer (we are in the Midwest- we have a reputation)
square dancing with a "caller" and all
Farmer J singing Mumford & Sons
JJ thought the goats needed to get "ready" for the party as well! Ciaran loved the attention, as usual!
They are really hoping JJ will give them some "goat chow" that is stored just behind this door! But they enjoyed the grooming and attention regardless.
The barn. Cleaned out. Lights hung. Probably the cleanest this barn has been for 165 years! Definitely the cleanest its been since we moved in over three summers ago!
The farm looked beautiful. I imagine oil lamps, just like this one, were used to light up many an outdoor party at this farm, years and years ago.
The tractor was placed in front of the barn which a digital camara set in front of it for guest photo shoots! I snapped a few of the boys before the party!
Pretty skirt. Cowboy boots. Ready for barn dance! More pictures and stories to come... JJ starts school tomorrow so I'm off to bed... and to dream of promenades, circles left and right, & do sa dos!
