A steady breeze cooled sitters and threatened the wildflower centerpieces.
Ample tables and chairs invited people to be comfortable and visit.
New this year was a cabana looking out house, a real step up from 'copping a squat'.

If there are a couple of fellows who know horse feet its Cory and Pete.
two of the finest hoof care specialists in the area. Pete is also the fellow behind Peterbylt Farrier Aprons.

Yum, Yum, good food and good friends!
