Renaissance Festival

Finally…! Sun! It was getting close to the end…would this be the first Renaissance Festival in 5 years that we would miss because of the rain? The festival is held in a magical little “Sherwood Forest” kind of place. Hardier attendees would not let the rain stop them...But, we are talking about deep, thick, mud. I draw the line at sopping around in knee-deep mud and down pours. However, this past Sunday was just beautiful and a perfect 72 degrees.

Gabe and Claire dressed up-they plan all year…

I love the houses and the store fronts...and the costumes/characters...

We take the back roads home. It ended up taking a couple of hours…we found this little orchard with piles of pumpkins and squash…this is just my favorite time of year. The pumpkin wagon was really cool-look at these pumpkins-they were giants!

I so love autumn! We have wonderful falls here on “cotton wood creek”. “M” cuts wood, and burns leaves. The dogs frolic and chase each other about. The kids still rake the leaves just to jump in them. And the colors…are so vivid. “Fall” fills all your senses here. I promise I will have some pics so you can share in the season, especially for all the out of state family and friends…Till next week…Mary
