On the Farm



























































































































































































I'm back in my old hometown for a wedding.  The last wedding of my wedding planning career. Instead of it being at my former farm of employment, it's at my friend's farm.  Her daughter is getting married.  It's a big wedding with 348 guests.  Yesterday the tent went up and I took a stroll on the grounds to get acquainted with the resident critters.  I thoroughly enjoyed myself.  It is a slice of heaven on these grounds.  I introduce you to Johnny Cash and June Carter, the miniature donkeys. I got a big kick out of watching Wesley and Buttercup, the goats, climb.  I had no idea goats liked to climb, shows you I don't have much farm animal knowledge.  The chickens were a riot of color and weren't quite sure what to make of me.  It is a beautiful setting for a wedding reception.  I hope the heat breaks, that's my only concern.  Hope you're staying out of the heat!

Hugs,

  3. LOVE the chickens ... I thought I wanted to have some when we retired and moved to Northern Michigan ... I've since found several quilting friends who have chickens so I get my eggs from them. There is NOTHING like a fresh egg ... spoils you for anything else! Enjoy your visit ... wedding planning sounds like a "high stress" job ... Linda

  6. How fun. Had our youngest daughters wedding in our back yard. Did it ourselves. It was very stressfull and I think the only time in my life I could fill my blood pressure rising. What a job, to keep flowers looking pretty and grass in sandy soil looking green until the day came around. I do hope if my oldest of three daughters ever decides to marry she will pick a different location.

  9. How nice that you could return to your hometown for such a happy occasion. Loved seeing the beautiful farm where the wedding will be held. Johnny and June are so cute. Love the goats on the spools. They look right at home. I live with about 30 chickens in my yard. They are fun to watch. Have a wonderful time and hope the weather cools for you.
    It's sure hot here.
