Magic

We hosted several friends for a "local" dinner on our patio this past Saturday. Everyone contributed to the meal by preparing dishes using locally-grown and raised foods (there were a few exceptions--notable among them was KB's smashing chocolate brownie! Heaven!)

The night was perfect. Our friends are perfect. Life is good.

The chickens were hoping to join us (and not as part of the main course)

Our children hosted an art gallery in our living room. They invited all the other children to bring along some of their artwork to display:

After the meal, we had a bonfire

and some dancing

A magical evening.
