The first weekend in May, every May, is the Gatherin'.
Caber-tossing, Scotch drinking, sword holding good times, I tell you.
Madigan went on Friday night, and ate a lot of corn. A LOT of corn. Enough to make her go cross eyed. She stayed with her grandma on Saturday, which is for the best, considering all the Scotch drinking and swords and what have you.
Crosses were lit on fire and ran like a relay. Weights were thrown for height and distance. Sheafs of hay were pitch-forked over a plank of wood. I'm not really sure why we do it, except that we're Scottish and that's apparently what Scottish folk do.
Many pictures were taken, and some were heavily edited for effect.
I was introduced to s'mOreos. It was a camping on the ground good time. And just in case you don't believe me that Madigan ate enough corn to go cross eyed.....
Exhibit A:
OK your pics are lovely as always, but where were the pics of the s'moreos?? :)
