To celebrate the solstice today, a group of us Island Folk showed up at K-Jo Farm this morning with the aim of lining miles of road with glowing luminaries by nightfall.
The mastermind behind this Magical Plan: Karen Biondo, Diva of Feast and Farm, who has been illuminating our island for over a decade now. And while this year's glow may have been a little damper than in years past, it was definitely a day well spent.
 |
| We got off to a rollicking start... |
 |
| ...and by noon we had hundreds of bags of sand loaded onto the trucks. |
 |
 |
| We made quick work of folding down the tops of the bags... |
 |
| ...and dropping them into place. |
 |
| Nearly finished! |
 | |
|
 |
| ...but at dusk, just as the bags were beginning to glow, it started to rain. |
 |
| We spent a few dark, wet hours relighting candle after candle... |
 |
| then gave in and gathered around the one light the rain couldn't dampen-- |
 |
| the solstice bonfire! |
