 June 10: Today we celebrate Jud's songwriting recognition with... |
 ....a family/friend get together in the park. |
 Despite the rain, Lynne and Edward have outdone themselves as caterers! |
 Kids find things to do as they wait for the guests to arrive. |
 And the food is put on the tables. |
 See how wet it is?!!! Great for kids!!!! |
 But little, white dogs stay in crates and look like part of the picnic spread! |
 Then Jud and Marsey arrive. |
 People are trying to stay dry and.... |
 ....checking out the celebratory balloons. |
 Some people are worried about mosquitoes (no need...it was too cold and wet for them today)! |
 Gemma is warm and cozy and... |
 ...Elly checks out the mud! |
 |
 .....and the water! |
 Marsey and Jud and Alfred look happy. |
 What would a celebration for a songwriter be.... |
 ...without... |
 ....a few... |
 ......(fix that hat!) ..... |
 .....songs and.... |
 ....lots of dancing! |
 Ossian, Em and Gemma look on. |
 It's time for old friends to catch up, then.... |
 ..it's cake time! |
 Gemma and Em |
 Music all around! |
 Kate and Puzz are ready! |
 As is Elly.....yummmmmmmmmm... |
 ....it's just..... |
 ....too tempting! |
 As the day winds down, people try to leave, but get stuck and need a push. |
 |
 And some kids take the time for one last wade in this generous puddle while.... |
 ....others get dried off and bundled up. |
 Boo walks Maggie and.... |
 ...Elly gets dried off and.... |
 bundled into a blanket... |
 and lugged off for the ride home. |
 Maggie gets a drink of water and is... |
 ....lifted mud and all to the car for the ride home! |
 Coincidentally, blackberries are in bloom right now, so with a blackberry blossom background.... |
