Just missed it by a minute, but here is a Happy Mother's Day video that we made in 2007 going out to all the Mom's reading this. A Mother's Day Bubble For you...

Oh my goodness...the mud.



Pirate weekend turned out to be one messy event. Pretty much, by the end of it all, the whole site, from stem to stern, looked like the ground in that picture. But STILL! Fun was had!

( Make with the clicky to see more pictures of wet pirates... )

The Heat!...The Humidity!...

There was both. But we survived, and the humidity made for some good bubbling...

This delightfully sweet song about Spoutwood Farm May Day Fairie Festival was written by Janet Spahr, an excellent musician and player of the Hang Drum. It seems to be essentially an evolved steel drum. It is lovely, and a new instrument that only a limited number play. The simple joy of this song really gets across the spirit of the festival. Little kids in bubble fields. Of course, I was tickled to see them use the B.O.G chant at the end. It was a good Green Man March this year. I will write more about it and the FF later. Now, simply....relax.
