Birthday bash 2017

Joey hosted an awesome late birthday/housewarming party Saturday. Much fun was had by all, although some of the participants were a little camera shy.

I mostly ran around enjoying the soft spring grass, which seems about a week further along than it is on our farm. But I took time out to enjoy Maggie's banjo plucking and to visit with friends and family new and old.

Thanks for the invitation, Joey...and for being a good sport about letting me put multiple photos of you up on the blog.
