The last of the previous owner's trash was hauled off today. Brought in was a semi-trailer loaded with cricket droppings, a bunch of straw bales, several wire spools, a load of firewood, and over a hundred quart-sized mason jars. You know, for drinking the cider.
Also, I made the first of four cheesecakes last night. Two amazing carrot cakes will get added to the lot on Saturday.
The weather channel's long-range forcast is now showing the party weekend. Currently they say partly cloudy with a high of 77 for the Saturday. Lows will be in the low 50s. Sounds perfect! Of course, it's been my experience that the weather channel forcast is not very accurate further ahead than, say, a half hour (and sometimes they blow that), so don't place bets yet.
In any event, it should be in the 70s during the day and the 50s at night regardless. The only real variable is whether it'll be storming or not.
Time's growing near, and better communication might be necessary. To that end, I've created an on-line forum where we can perhaps better discuss the happenings.
It's not inconceivable that Extreme Croquet will happen sometime during the weekend.
I've updated the directions page, correcting "Hwy 172" to read "Hwy 174", and adding a brief bit about coming through Tennessee.
