cookout accomplished

Despite the drizzly weather, a fun time was had by all at the umpteenth annual Spring Fling in Maynard yesterday. I got home in the wee hours, tired but happy. There was a ton of food, plenty of home-brewed mead, and the traditional trash-can turkey. Lots of friends from near and far, and even the next generation:

Zack & Zoe

These two were betrothed in the womb. *g*

Several members of the fire tribe from Brushwood were there, so of course we had a huge fire happily crackling away in the back yard. Unfortunately, it was so grey and drizzly that I couldn't get a decent photo of it, but it was nearly as tall as I am (and I am not short).

A cute Irishman named Damien was playing Doors music on the piano and trying to get me to sing; I know a couple of lines of "Light My Fire," but that's it. It was cool to sit on the bench with him while he was playing, though. I could feel the music in my body. Carlos found a guitar and took my seat, jamming with Damien:

I got a lovely (temporary) butterfly tattoo on my wrist, which also is resisting being photographed (my camera is as bleary as I am this morning, apparently). It's all sparkly, and purple & green.

It was lovely to see everyone, especially the ones I don't get to see very often. The party season has begun!

One more "awwwwww" moment: Zack & Zoe, trying to take a nap:

Sounds like it was fun! Sorry we missed it. We have Coyote Grace (Ingrid and Joe) and Courtney Robbins staying with us this weekend, so I went to their gig last night, which was awesome but not very well attended; and Todd was working.

So we had Brushwood types here, too! And a fire in the fireplace, but no brawny fire tribe, ha ha. Nice in the midst of the cold rain we had the last couple of days, it is finally sunny again today.
