TBC- "The Big City" in my writing.
Cowfeathers- My very small farm (not very near TBC)
Things to be found in TBC; restaurants, museums, concert halls, sports stadiums, movie theaters, stores, Universities, nightclubs, martinis, bowling alleys, high heels, sporty trench coats, ties.
Things to be found at Cowfeathers; sunset, big red, hay stocked barn, stars, giggling children, twirling adults, potatoes in cheese and cream, chili, loaves of fresh bread, cherry pie, buckets of beer, an outhouse in the darkness, a 7 piece band, c'boy boots, worn jeans, flashlight tag in the corn.
To be sure, TBC has those things each night.
Cowfeathers holds that whole list only one night a year.
The sixth annual Cowfeathers Barn Party had another beautiful night to shine. Pete Shew and the Backporch Swing Band, were excellent, as usual. I would love to have a live band in my barn every night. Sure makes barn chores much more swingin'!
We were blessed this week to have my Father -in- Law here for the week. He was asked to come lecture at the Veterinary School on Tuesday and Wednesday, and stayed for the Barn Party. Always wonderful help, he spent the remainder of his week moving bales and sweeping straw up from the floor, holding the ladder, organizing...getting it done! Wish my M-i-L could've been here, too, but they have been travelling so much she needed a chance to reconnoiter. We will see her soon!

| Through the outhouse window... |
 |
| Middlest awaits the band's arrival. |
 |
| Huz made 4 different kinds of bread, all delicious, I hear! |
 |
| Youngest swings his "lasso". The child loves a costume. |
 |
| The band gets ready to begin playing during dinner. |
 |
| Gorgeous baby! And love my friends... |
 |
| Huz promenades with a younger dancing guest. |
 |
| Huz partners Middlest through a few calls. |
 |
| Dancing so fast- its a blur! |
 |
| Love the mix of the dance. Father's partner daughters, married couples, strangers learn from kids who have been to our dances since they were in kindergarten. |
 |
| Ken gives his pretty Eldest a swing! |
 |
Opa takes TMJ for a twirl!

 |
| To prove I attended, I took a self-portrait. |
Autumnal fun!
ReplyDeleteWe are prepping for our End-of-Triple-Digits-First-Day-of-Fall Potluck, scheduled tomorrow! We're hauling out the hay bales and the boards (on which to sit), and Paul's out mowing. Ah...come on, Fall, you cannot arrive too early!!
