This year’s Summer Solstice celebration was a especially wonderful event. The day could not have been more perfect, with a few puffy white clouds passing under the warm, bright Sun.

Volleyball, frisbee, horseshoes and bucket pong were enjoyed on the Music Room lawn as people relaxed, played music, and frolicked in the sunshine. This year was extra special because members Mardock and Possum (Clifton and Katia) announced their engagement!

The wedding is to be set for next year and will take place on East Wind’s land. Now that is going to be one big party!

Scotty and Jamis, East Wind’s up and coming brewmasters, put out a simply delightful trio of alcoholic beverages that satisfied every drinker’s particular tastes. There was drum playing and dancing well into the night.

For a number of East Winders, the weekend only began with Solstice as our friends at Flotsam Farm had their fourth annual summer festival with three days of music and a sixty person day float down the Bryant (think of an armada of canoes and kayaks).

Summer is in full gear and spirits are high. In other news, since my last post, rescued cow Maybelline gave birth to a large, healthy calf. Happy Solstice!
