We had a perfect day for an outdoor event Saturday.
This show is an absolute pleasure to do, it is so close I could practically walk there, but since I need the trailer, it seems more prudent to take the truck… And it also would take me at least a week to walk the 15 miles… But still it is closer and easier that many of the shows I do. I also love seeing people I know from the community.
Occasionally I have a great idea that no one but me thinks is all that clever. Take for instance, this ever so funny display of what I was calling slip monkeys…

What was actually an adjustable mannequin that I hung in a tree to display the slips…
But looked like a monkey to me…
Maybe people were thinking sock monkeys??

Well, I thought it was amusing…
This is the face of someone not amused.
Couldn’t get sweet baby Maddox to smile, I get the impression he was thinking,
”Why do you talk so funny?”
Something that made me laugh out loud was when my friend told me her 3 year old granddaughter told her,
“ Actually Grandma, I appreciate it when you use your inside voice…”
(hmm, should I ever have a grandchild, I can only imagine…)
There were some very talented vendors with great displays and lots of shoppers who were delighted to take a little bit home from the country.
Martha was serving up bird nest cake…

And who doesn’t LOVE bird nest cake??

I always love the hens and chicks in the chicken feeder, it just makes sense…
More fun in the country on Monday when Dusty had us over for a barbeque. The field behind his house has sheep living in it. The farmer decided he needed to move them that evening… How hard can it be to herd 4 sheep? Of course everyone would be happy to help.
It’s just a simple matter…
Every one get in place,
Run like the wind, yelling baa-baa…
Easy breezy just like, leading sheep to the slaughter.
“Oh no, you don’t” they baa-ed,”" not so easy!”
“No way are we going anywhere with that farmer.”
Just another day in the country.
