The solstice tradition continues in force. Thanks to all who came for the love, laughter, music, and joy.

Sundown on the solstice
The lighting was as spectacular as ever.

Turn sun turn!



Meanwhile in the barn…Sophie takes a party nap.

Do not party like Sophie.

Yes, no holy man, but pretty damn cute. And risky! Shenandoah is frozen fun. No human i know would head out that far, naked!


Cautious, she is.

Not everyone has that…Je ne sais quoi!

The bluebells are out. Thousands and thousands of them for miles along the river.

The snow is still deep. We’re still cutting trails with lots of effort. Sophie is shorter than the snow is tall. But frankly, the slow melt is fantastic given our location on the Shenandoah river.

Virginia is gorgeous in the Spring. Flowers everywhere you look, even hidden in the grass. And miles and miles of bluebells by the river. There is nowhere I would rather be.
