The Morning After

Getting this year's fifth vernissage together has had its ups and downs. The heat didn't help. I've come to the realization this year that using the barn for special expositions takes a lot of extra effort: stringing the electrical cord through the terrace gutters and getting it high enough into the walnut tree to be safe for people to walk under and then pulling through the back window, waiting till the day before or the day of to hang special pieces in case of rain, creative presentation of pieces on the stone and farm equipment, and artists whose pieces come with no titles and no way of presenting them. It is exhausting. All that said-the barn looked it's prettiest and happiest last night. I stood for a moment with tears in my eyes. On to recover-Photos tomorrow, but for now enjoy this shot from the front to the back of the barn prior to being readied for the exposition.
