Here we have the first site that greeted us as we walked in the gate at the Garlic Festival yesterday. After much circling and musing we decided that the only thing that could have caused the sand-slide over the front door was catapults.We all bought different things for lunch and consumed them round-robin under an obliging tree. Aubie and I got Thai, Boomer got massive Garlic bread, Joel got fudge, Reuben and Stephen got snow cones, and Steven got garlic pasta, and buckwheat honey. After sampling the latter we all decided that the first taste was like a dark lager, and the aftertaste was exactly like an old wood barn full of animals, dust, sun-dried hay and cobwebs. Boomer said he could practically see the rope swing!
After that, and after Steven had retrieved his keys from where he'd landed them on top of a tree branch, we were inspired to crash the hat booth. Hilarity ensued, as well as some classic pictures.
The dimples makes these shots.
I caught one of Aubie in the mirror by stealth.
And this one I call Quadruple Portrait.We danced by the grandstand too, for the band was playing brilliant old 20s and 30s music, a little ragtime, a little county fair stuff, a Little Brown Jug. We called it a day, well satisfied that it doesn't take much money and certainly no sketchiness to have fun. In fact we finished off our afternoon with climbing trees back at the Cummins' place, and I haven't had so much delight in I don't know when. We even found a name for The Best Climbing Tree Ever-- Old Waverly. I've been thanking God more lately for the blessing of innocence.

was woundering if you would like the notecards, I love good art. I also love that you finally updated....whats a boared mama to do when her day is the same and no one ever updates??
I'm feelin a bit like kermit. :0)
One thing of interest is that different types of honey have properties that improve your health in different ways. The darker honeys like buckwheat honey have strong antioxidant properties.
Some research has shown that certain types of honey are good for wound healing.
Some researchers from Penn State have recently shown that Buckwheat honey is better then the OTC children’s cough medicines for children’s cough. There is a web site that talks about this, and gives lots of research to help people understand how honey effects health. Check out http://www.honeydontcough.com/
