I have a friend who lives on a farm that her great-grandfather homesteaded on in the early 1900's and has been in her family ever since. She kindly invited us along with several other friends to spend the day and celebrate Summer Solstice! It was one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen in Alberta. The kids had a ball. We drank local beer and ate mostly local food, visited and played for a few hours in the country. It was just lovely! They have two mules, several chickens, a gorgeous garden, and a gorgeous view.
Poppy squeaked at the mules - she was quite taken with them. She also squeaked at the chickens - I think it's her way of trying to communicate with non-humans. Rand took a pic of her and I surrounded by the orange and yellow poppies that happened to match the hand-me-down dress she wore to celebrate solstice! She wasn't into posing though. Rowan learned how to peel apart dandelion stems and was quite proud of himself. Our friend's mom made us some dandelion fritters as we were on our way out and they were DELICIOUS! Thanks for the fun, Lindsie and Denis! It was a lovely way to spend the day!
