Ice cream social with Full Tilt Ice Cream

 




        
We harvested old rose petals from our extensive collection of Antique roses - Justin worked his magic, and made rose ice cream again. Thank you Justin!
 Squirrel Butter played some fun tunes and showed us a foot stomping good time! Tex-our rooster- was not to be outdone by the singing, so he chimed in on occasion!

In September we plan to have another Ice Cream social!
