Sometime before I completed my new 1860's dress I popped up into our barn loft and had inspiration strike! It's at least 100 years old in that part of the barn and I'm sure barn construction techniques did not vary very much between the 1860's and the early 1900's...and I knew I wanted a barn loft photoshoot for my new dress. We'll ignore the fact that it didn't come out as perfect as I wanted--the dress that is. The photoshoot was I think productive. Brace yourselves for a post full of my new dress, my round mug, an old barn, and an orchard full of white blossoms!!

Yes, farm girls can climb ladders in long dresses! Not that I really went up the ladder since there was no real reason to...
See that yellow stuff on my hand? That is proplis and it is really very sticky. Several hours later and I still haven't gotten it all scrubbed and picked off my hands. Bee Goo. Used for sealing themselves in... ;)
 My belt buckle got all crooked someplace between the loft and the orchard--and no one noticed it.... |  In a bigger view this looks like an old newspaper photo! |
I could hear my bees humming in the apple tree...but not so much in the pears...
This is one of my favorites--particularly with that edit job.

Katherine accidentally broke that bunch of flowers off (pears, I believe) and so she stuck them behind my ear. :)
The orchard is really reminding me of Anne's "White Way of Delight" this year. ("Anne of Green Gables" fan here, you know...)

This is me wondering why the bees aren't humming in the pear trees...
My "Little Bit". She was humming for sure! ;)
A brief stop to talk to and about my bees...
And a "Usie" with the photographer!!
