We spent a lovely weekend at a dear friend of ours Amanda Porter's. You might remember her mentioned in previous posts as she is a handcrafter of wooden toys and owner of Green Acre Toys. Her home is a work of art in itself. It is set on a beautiful piece of land, surrounded by trees with no other houses in sight. Her home is sustainable with solar paneling, wind powered and in the cold months is heated with a rock stove.
Last year began a tradition of gathering people on her land to celebrate with dancing, art, yoga and this year making ice cream! It was a lovely day with sons and daughters helping mothers and friend. We worked together to make yummy, cold ever so delicious, refreshing ice cream.

Yummy. Wonder if it would work without the ice-cream maker. Sounds like a perfect day.
