Pear crisp and banana bread joined my bread, along with homemade pancakes, fresh yogurt, egg bake, and hardboiled eggs. Sliced beets, zucchini, and other veggies were on the grill. The feast was incredible. Everything was homemade (with the exception of some very out of place Pringles and PopTarts). This backyard is huge, and has gardens, a chicken coop, and a hand-built little cottage that someone lives in with a wood stove inside. I showed up to this brunch feast with fresh coffee cake, snap peas, raw sauerkraut, and a couple chicken sausages in hand, and was greeted with a table FULL of food, a grill going, and a backyard full of people. Inspired by the blue color theme and the communal brunch, I wanted to bring a blueberry coffee cake to share. We were having a big grill out brunch before the parade. Our parade section theme color was blue and silver, and some very talented people made us beautiful costumes to wear. It fulfilled my childhood dream of playing viola in a marching band - we had a whole marching string section! We also had a banjo, accordions, a big brass section, a ton of drummers, and a flag twirling color guard. It is incredible, and this year I marched in a rowdy marching band with a bunch of people that I played music with last fall. Every year in Minneapolis, everyone comes out to the streets to see a wild procession of larger than life puppets and celebrate the renewed energy and rebirth of Spring. On Sunday I marched in the annual MayDay Parade.
