Sorry this took so long, gals. Kay, Missy and other farmgirls have posted some great photos of which I have duplicates so here are a few that haven't been posted yet.
This is breakfast in the Plum Pit. The kitchen prepares a delightful organic breakfast with fresh fruit (I picked strawberries for breakfast!), scones or muffins, juices, coffee or tea and an entree such as MaryJane's lovely eggs or a fritatta...
Here are the new Mr. and Mrs. by now...Kate and Emil. Aren't they adorable?
Here's my favorite place on the farm.
They wouldn't let me ride the pony so I did the next best thing.
This is the morning after the night before. This is morning after the campout. These two lovely ladies provided musical accompaniment.
Another photo from the morning after. MaryJane with some farmgirls. MaryJane provided breakfast for all. Yum.
Julie Bell and Cindylou enjoying strawberry shortcakes in the afternoon sun.
THe Rustic Cottage meets BlueRoses
Clark County Farmgirls Patti and Missy with Debs and Paul from England. So lovely they could attend!
Carol and Kay - the biggest smiles on the farm!
One of the bands performing
MaryJane and me
This is the barn where the library is. The kitchen is next to it, with the design studio and the sewing room behind the kitchen. The Plum Pit (or the fruit salad, as Kay and Missy and Patti and I referred to it) is behind the barn.
This is Meggie, some fat lady, and Diane. Meg and Diane were manning the magazine and tote bag booth. I love the sweet little bump you can just start to see on Meggie.
This is Kate and her fellow B&B hostess with Elsie, one of the chefs, in the middle
Here is MaryJane shopping in the vendor tent at Juia's booth
I hope you like seeing these. My best memories of Farm Fair are of the people - the kindness and warmth and humor of MaryJane, Julie Bell, Cindylou and the girls at the farm, my new best friends Kay and Missy and Patti, and all the farmgirls I met - Julia and her lovely children, Blue Roses. Lucas ran the entire Fair himself and kept everything running smoothly.
Sleeping in the Plum Pit was surreal. So totally dark and still. I heard coyotes calling to each other once, which made me wonder what they were up to. And a certain cow choose my first night there to go into heat so she kept bellowing all night about five feet from my bed. Scared the pants off me at first.
There's something magical about MaryJane's Farm. I think it has to do with the woman herself and the energy around her. She has built something extraordinary and gathered around her extraordinary people to keep the momentum going.
I can't help thinking that the world could learn a lot from MaryJane and our farmgirls.
Farmgirl hug,
Patricia

Kay, I miss you too. This is the hard part -- not seeing folks you've come to love. By the way, I love your tag, heh heh.
Love you,

Fabulous! Thanks for sharing, Patricia. I knew MJ's Farm, as well as its creator and steward (MJ), were both inspired and inspiring the first time I picked up the MJ Magazine. Your phtots really give those of us who missed the Farm Fair an idea of the wonder and magic we missed. Oh, to be there next year...

Missy, you overflow with joy and inspiration anyway. You are a beautiful soul, and you come by it naturally through your mother. We had such fun! I can't wait to see you both again!
Love,

Oh, Patricia! Thank you so much for sharing the photos. Every time I see picture I miss it all over again. There is something very special about Mary Jane and her farm. I felt very happy, peaceful and centered when I was ther. When I came home I wasn't even interested in having the TV on or spending time on the computer. I was so overflowing with joy and inspiration. It was so great to meet all the girls and I miss you Patricia. Hope all is going well for you. I've been thinkin' about ya!!!
Love and Blessings,
Missy
