We finally had two days without rain – can you believe it?
And because the weather was so nice today, it was time to get some things done around the farm that we’ve been putting off. That meant putting in another large bale of hay for the cattle and working on the equipment was on Daryl’s list this morning.
And for me? Well I did a bunch of laundry and finished up Mom’s card that she wanted me to make. If you remember the other day she had asked for a glitzy card and well after I got it done, I think it’s one of my favorites. I don’t think that I can post a picture of it just yet – I want to wait until her friends birthday is over. You just never know who reads these posts and I don’t want to spoil the fun!
The sun was still shining around 1:00 and we decided that it was way too nice for us to stay inside for the afternoon, so Daryl got the Chevelle out of the shed and we were off!
The first stop was at the Rendezvous Days in Fort Atkinson. We knew that it was going to cut it close to being over, but we wanted to catch the melodrama that the Country Road Players were putting on. We were in luck and got there just about when it started. It’s always fun to see what show they’ve created from year to year and this year turned out great! In the picture below the stage is in the back with the burlap cloth as the background. Simple stages can be the best sometime!
We walked around the Fort for awhile and honestly you just can’t go there and not buy some kettle corn can you? The smell of fresh popcorn popping can be smelt all around the Fort. It’s such a good selling tool don’t you think? With a big bag of kettle corn in our hands we were off to the next stop. This time is was Ma’s to deliver her card that I made for her and to stop and visit for awhile.
And because it was now around 4:30 and we hadn’t had dinner yet, so back to Fort we went and ordered a huge pizza at one of the restaurants there. We thought that we would plenty of extra pizza to eat as the week goes on, but honestly we mowed through it pretty good before we left! To our defense it was both dinner and supper for us.
Finally when we got back home and the Chevelle is back in the shed, we just hung out for the rest of the night. It was nice to finally see the sun today and to have a relaxing Sunday afternoon also.
