Molly Mo’s, Life in the Country

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.
