Garden Tour/Corn Roasting.

We had a little get together for our CSA members. They were invited out to the farm to tour the gardens and eat dinner with us. So, since you missed it, I will take you with us via pictures. 

We loaded up on hay wagons for the trip up to the garden. 

We started the tour by visiting the onions. We have sooooo many onions. These are laying out to dry. 

We visited the high tunnel to see all the tomatoes.

While waiting to take our guests to the next location we talked about hay, building houses, and ate cucumbers.

Summer garden. Lots of squash, Okra, Green Beans, and Cukes.

I didn't take a picture of the asparagus or field tomatoes but those were on the tour too.

After the tour we were ready to eat. :)

We decorated the tables with my favorite flower. 

Everything on the menu was from the garden.

Yummy tomatoes.

Potato Salad and Coleslaw.

Bruschetta with Focaccia bread.

Roasted Sweet Corn. The best corn you will ever eat.

Chocolate Zucchini Cake. (Amazing! You can't taste the Zucchini at all.) Carrot Cake (Not pictured)

 Digging in! 

 We sat on straw bales and quilts. :) I love quilts! 

We ended the evening with a dip in the pond. 

We had a great time and hope that our guests did too! :)

Partaaaay!!

We had some visitors on the farm yesterday and so we had a party. We like parties. :)

We ate fresh sweet corn, and yummy blackberry cobbler with homemade ice cream. 

Usually at our summer parties we swim in the pond but something crazy happened last night and it got really cold. There were a few brave souls.

The rest of us watched the crazies. ;)

And stood around the fire.

I'm telling you this weather has been crazy. One day it's 95 degrees and the next it's 75. (and it was colder than that when the sun started going down.)

They even got the sailboat out. Yes, we sail on our very tiny pond. Round and round. :)

Then, like all cool kids do, we jump roped. We started out playing school. Anybody else play that when they were younger?? We were serious jump roping nerds when I was in grade school. 

Then we moved on to other games and we seriously jump roped for approximately 2 hours and that is probably the approximate reason I could not bend my knee when I first got up this morning. I'm getting old. 

Yes, we are a bunch of college aged kids (some of us older) jump roping. We always seem to end up doing something random when we all get together. We are easily entertained. :)

It was such a fun evening and I was so sad to go to bed but I know there will be many more parties to come this summer.
