I. I got *most* of what I wanted to get done taken care of yesterday, but the sun came out and beckoned me and I spent TWELVE HOURS upon it. From 3 p.m. to 3 a.m.
The entire neighbourhood came out to frolic upon my lawn – six feet apart – with a little paraffin tabletop fire, music, laughter…
We finally went in when it started to drizzle
II. It all started when Em found me all sprawled out on a picnic blanket sipping chardonnay and listening to a podcast. I was also watching one lone fuzzy butt bee bumbling around in the dandelions.
She said “Are you drinking wine?”
“Yup!”
“That’s all I need to know.”
It was her day off, so she decided to join me. I grabbed her a picnic blanket when she went in to grab herself a beer so we could gauge “six feet apart” properly. These picnic blankets are waterproof, by the way, but somehow, you don’t stick to them. They’re pretty miraculous.
Em + Salem. Sookie is in the upper right chilling in the shade.
Then, she pulled out her nail stuff and did my toes, because that’s what friends are for.
Over the course of our twelve-hour lawn party, Dani joined us. Jessie joined us, Shane joined us, Conner, Kat, and Demi joined us. People came and went, and we staked out six feet from one another using the corners of my massive picnic blanket as a guide.
The end of the frolic saw us all wrapped up in fleece blankets while we butt wiggled to the music playing on my little bluetooth speaker.
The rain came – just a few drops – and we all parted ways.
I love where I’m living.
III. I have a sunburn and I’m totally not mad about it.
IV. Today, I’m making up for what didn’t get done yesterday – namely, uploading video and making a PDF. I’ve got this to offer my witches for May. It’s called Flower Power and it was a super fun, interactive spread.
Interactive spreads are super fun.
V. This is all I’ve got today because I am too old to sit around on the cold ground ’till THREE IN THE MORNING ffs, so I’m going to knock the stuff off my list and take a nap.
I’m planning to blog every day this month along with a crew of almost 300 other bloggers in my “Artfully Wild Blog Along“. If you’d like to join us, you are most welcome! Both bloggers and readers are invited to join in the fun! The only requirement is that you agree to comment on three blog posts for every blog post you share in our Facebook
Yay for such a long and glorious lawn sit!!!
It was gorgeous.
That sounded like so much fun, Does the sun stay out longer where you live or did you sit in the dark too?
We lit a paraffin tabletop fire and sat in the dark. :)
Friends and lawn parties, are the best ever…
Glad you all had that day.
Me, too. It might just get me through. <3
Ah, the impromptu lawn party.*happy sigh*. I may be a shy, aspiring hermit, INFJ and yet I find myself CRAVING companionship (that doesn’t already live with me). “Life of the party”? Why, yes, I think perhaps I shall. ;) xoxo
How far are you? Can we visit when this is all over?
We’re in Fort Erie now….no idea of the geographical parameters as I can’t conceptualize these things BUT that doesn’t matter because YESSSSS!!
Yay for having such a fun time. How utterly wonderful. And you got your toes done. So jealous!
It was so kind. I almost cried!
Social time for the win. I also love interactive art spreads! :)
I usually keep mine super simple but I reallllly love them.
Pop up lawn party sounds like so much fun. YAY for fun and friends.
The pop up ones are *the best*.
The police (who were told by Ford a few weeks ago to stop us from doing pop up lawn parties) went by a million times and didn’t even look twice. We were distanced. Fuck Ford.
Your lawn party sounds absolutely divine!
This sounds deliciously wonderful!
What a wonderful read – and a wonderful party!
oh this sounds delightful. I wish I lived next door. <3
