One of our guests at Pino Pie Day was a neighbor about 5 miles from here. She lived in a house with her husband of 50 some years. Her husband died three years ago, but she still lives in the house with her adult daughter who brought her to the party, complete with fresh gooseberry pie and a handwritten recipe.
It was so nice meeting nearby neighbors - it takes time to mingle out in the country. I was able to sit with Shirley
One of the things that was very unique about this event is people were talking and mingling with each other and introducing themselves. It was very different than our past open farm days, which were all great, but people really mingled. You learn something at every event, that will make the next one even better, but this event had perfect flow.
And we found out it was actually 99 degrees! We mused at how many we would have had if the temp had been less, so the crowd size was perfect.
After baking pies and eating pies, the illustration I did for one of my Pino story books has come true. I ate so many pies I almost popped!
