I was invited to a Solstice Party by a couple friends which was up in the farmland of Guelph which is an hour outside of Toronto. So we carpooled out there into the Canadian farmland which closely resembles the Midwest. I went to a farm party with cousins in Missouri once, and this looked pretty identical to that, except the corn stalks were higher in Missouri. So the gracious hosts of this party, Jodie and her friend Megan, provided food and booze (a keg of PBR and bottomless sangria!). How could this not be great?? They also had the best invention in recent times. Red plastic cups, with a scratch pad for your name!! No more sharpies and writing your name on tons of cups! Although I'll sadly admit that I lost my cup anyway.
The farm was really beautiful, and they had a great outside area with a fire pit and lights strung everywhere. The only downside was the farm is apparently a hot bed for mosquitoes, so even though there were a million cans of bug spray, I still got bit pretty badly. My friend Warren even said that mosquitoes like blondes and redheads the most, of which I am neither.
The end to the weekend consisted then of a crazy thunderstorm last night, Sunday, and I was a tad scared. Everyone who lives here or in the Midwest is used to it so they go hang out on the porch and soak it up, but for those of us not from a big thunderstorm area, it's still bit scary every time.
I'll leave you with a couple photos of the farm party, and avoid saying anything about the G20, because I don't have much to say about it.
The sun was bright red!!
