a ranch bday party

a party on a ranch calls for lots of great food [juicy succulent bbq, anyone?], comfortable atmosphere and lots of sunshine. we had mostly all of those things on saturday at the song ranch [minus the plenty of sunshine]. decorating for mr. song's 60th bday party was a lot of fun. i got to climb up trees, hang things from the branches, get bark dust strewn all over my face, and come face to face with many of mother earth's creepy crawly creatures. not to mention the fact that i got to make many fluffy citron-hued tissue pom poms! they took a while to make at first, but after a few, i got the hang of it and production was in full swing with my helper jean .. it only sucked a little bit when i cut my fingers with very sharp utility scissors.

the ranch itself is such a beautiful place to have a party. it is a working horse ranch, with a couple of dogs running through the premises to keep the wild animals that come down from the mountains at bay.

here are a few snaps of the ranch:
