DUCKIE.....

 Another beautiful morning.
 (yesterday Gary started painting the house...will miss the red but the grey will be nice)



 Jill helped with chores and I was able to get down to the Arts Festival by 9:30.
The chorus members are always reliable and were ready to begin selling Duck Derby tickets.





 I must say, the entire set up was terrific.
 I started off by touring the tents of the exhibitors.






 The sculptor from Florida was my favorite.  His work was outstanding.

 He won best in show.

 Took a break and went home around 1:30.  Mowed the lawn...it's so nice and green now.
 At 4:30, went back down to make sure everything was running smoothly.  This sweet puppy was there they entire day.  Happy as a clam.
 Around 4:30 a few dark clouds passed over and we had some rain.  It was even muggier afterward.

 By 5:30 things had really wound down but I think it was a good day overall.
 It took all my energy to get off my butt and do chores.  By then, the light was gorgeous.





Tomorrow is the Duck Derby and I will finally be finished with this project.  Hope we get some bucks for our chorus after all this work.
Night all.

  1. I will miss the red too (my favorite color) but that grey is pretty too. Very dignified!

  3. I can't believe you are painting the house! I loved the red... you'll definitely have to show us some far away before and after shots.

    Good luck with the money raising. Hope all goes well.

  6. Good luck although I don't think you'll need it.

    Those windchimes were awesome...how do they keep from being broken? Or am I just thinking they were chimes?

    Many gifted artists on display.
