I seriously had so much fun on my trip to Arkansas that I had to have a day (yesterday) to recoup...and I mean a WHOLE DAY to lay on the couch because I was so worn out that I could barely move. I boogied my butt off this past week!!!
I couldn't be more grateful for the kind, hilarious, generous and sweet people I went to Harvest with. We laughed the whole time and everything was just so easy (except those porta-potties. Ummmm....we'll just leave that topic alone. Haha!) And on my actual birthday, anyone who heard that I was celebrating (thanks to Colleen and anyone else who felt like screaming, "It's her birthday!") just gave me things like a necklace, a headband with strings of lights on it, and a lot of kindness! Add that in with getting to see Yonder, Bela Fleck and the Flecktones, Railroad Earth, Cornmeal and more AND the chance to camp with great friends and I found myself having one incredibly unique and special week!

Taken on the way out of the festival. Until next time!!!
And here's a video that shows a lot of the lanterns that were released all weekend. They really were beautiful.
One of the nights that we were there, Preston released a lantern that I had actually given him on the Fourth of July. I had bought one for myself too, but we never let them go because of the burn ban. I thought it was nice that we both thought to bring ours. When he lit his up and let it go, it just took off. It was beautiful. The next night, I decided to release mine. It was in honor of letting something go. Mine decided to catch on fire and plummet to the ground. Yeah...that's about right. Haha! I wasn't quite ready to let go of what it signified anyway. Hopefully I'll be able to do that someday soon. At least I didn't burn the whole festival down. :) |
