We feasted on fresh nectarines, grilled pork loin, potatoes swimming in a sea of saltbutter and Matt's favorite~ blueberry pie, a la mode. All trekked to a secret spot in the woods dubbed The Clay Cauldron for the spot of wet clay that can be dug and shaped and played with at the bottom of the creek trickle. We hauled baskets and blankets and flowers and a lantern all (swiftly and secretly) yesterday afternoon as Matt puttered about, clueless.
It was a glorious feast among ferns and fungi, ending with a gift found in a hobbit hole and a game of hide and seek for all. I sought.
We all decided a Woodland Feast for the Papa is a good Father's Day tradition for every year- but maybe next year we'll forget the 'surprise' part and use the tractor for hauling things into the woods too. It took some gumption to get a load to the woods and get back before the pork needed flipping on the grill.
What a beautiful way to celebrate Fathers Day! Thankyou for sharing!:) Christina
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful! What a charming day.
ReplyDeleteThat last picture is just begging to be framed. What a great memory!
ReplyDeleteThis is a wonderful idea Rebecca! Since our Father's Day is in September, I may be able to copy the idea & change it just a little...
ReplyDeleteI had to smile at these pictures. My hubby also grows a beard for winter & shaves it for summer ( he says it's warmer during the colder days). He's just regrown his last month! Had to smile at yours beard-less.
Love the picture of the tractor bucket filled with kiddos etc. Ours is filled with children often as well!
