Strawberry

Well, last night we did find an activity to do.  We went to a strawberry festival!  I was surprised by the lack of strawberries.  It was a rodeo, fair, carnival type deal.  We tried to get up early which didn't work out as well as I had hoped, 1800 is early... really it is.  We still made it over there in time for the last part of the rodeo, and we did all of the carnival rides.  I do want to say one thing though, the amount of cowgirl bling was stunning, seriously what is up with that?  Everything has rhinestones on it as if they all went on a bedazzling spree, and I saw a bunch of "buckle bunnies"  google it.  My tastes run pretty simple and neutral, but I am very much desirous of a pair of cowboy boots.  The rides were cool, and there were the obligatory scary carnies.

So that only kept us occupied until around 0100.  Then what?  well I made some biscuits and puttered around in the kitchen and then wasted a bunch of time on the internet.  The first birds start singing around 0630.  There is an awesome shed thing out back that we had been keeping the chicks in, but it needs some work so we started to overhaul it and make everything a bit neater.  We also found about five pallets so I am deciding what exactly I want to do with them.  I had the worst scare ever this morning, around 0830 this tattooed scary vato comes into the yard holding a gun and asks which dog is ours.  I guess his dog got beat up really bad last night by some dog and he was trying to figure out who owned it because he was going to shoot it.  It freaked me out because this gentleman is know to be a procurer of certain items and probably a.) does not have the highest moral standards, and b.) not totally screwed on right because of indulging in said items.  I guess he lives down the road, and the husband wasn't worried so I guess I won't be worried either.

I also got to ride a motorcycle tonight wheee!  It had been forever since I rode so it was fun.  Like riding a bike, you never forget.  So that sums up my experiences.  There are some events that I am looking forward to that we have mapped out as evening activities.  There is a stargazing thing coming up, and a star wars symphony so I do have some plans, just not very many.  I hope this summer has a bunch of meteor showers.
