We could not have had a more beautiful day today for our second annual Elderberry/Potluck Farm Weenie Roast! This party was the brain child of Dick, who wanted to have an event at the Love Shack. The Love Shack is a little one room cabin with sleeping loft that is in a beautiful wooded area and accessible by trail from Potluck Farm and Elderberry (and also accessible via Zeke, Dick's 4-wheeler!). The cabin was built about 20 years ago by a member of Potluck Farm and I'll leave to your imaginations the reason for the name :) It is now used occasionally as a retreat cabin and party place.
Dick got a fire started early so that by the time everyone arrived the coals were ready for roasting weenies (and organic chicken weenies!) and, of course, S'mores. There were lots of fixings and side dishes and delicious desserts. It was a great feast in a lovely setting with brilliant spring-green buds and leaves, and an abundance of spring flowers - bluets, spring beauties and violets -lining the trails to the party site. Pat, our resident blacksmith, made some stakes for Dick's old horseshoe set, and as it got close to sundown, a handful of folks hiked further, up to Bella Vista (a lovely piece of property owned jointly by Elderberry and Potluck Farm) to watch the sunset. Awesome day.

Miles wanted to play bocce. He was hilarious waddling around in his new shoes, which are a little too big yet!
Pretty place for a horseshoe match!
