When the sun stays out to play and the birds are happily chirping and flying around, the festivals come to town. We seem to get so many festivals that there is always something going on somewhere.
Just this weekend pass my husband and I had the opportunity to go to the Home and County Folk Festival. We didn't go for long but we did have a fun time looking around and listening to a few different groups.
It was a bit muggy outside so it made for a challenge, but I did notice something amazing....no smoke. Not a puff not a whiff just pure, clean air. It was a relief not to have to fight the humidity and tobacco too.
Thought I'd share a few pictures of the spouse having fun on "birthday weekend".
This is the bus ride down. He's looking at me like that because I snapped a fast shot of him. LOL
We sat for a few minutes in the park and listened to an interesting Celtic sort of group. They had an interesting take on some different songs. Sorry I'm not sure of group names because well....we didn't look for the information and didn't have a book to tell us :).
Favorite pick of the day for "different". Someone had brought a "petting zoo" to the festival. It was a GREAT idea and I hope the do it again. Off to the left side there were guitars and drums etc. While in the tent.....
there were some other interesting instruments to try out. Most of the rest of the festival was vendors selling everything from Cold Pressed Olive Oil (delicious, but not in our budget at the moment), to soaps and dresses and linens. There were the usual Henna artists there as well.
It was an enjoyable day and I'm glad my hubby and I got to spend it together. Won't be long before it's "back to school" and nights filled with homework.
