It was a perfect afternoon for a bike ride. The sun was shining and the day had warmed up a bit. We rode to a place that is nestled in the hills of our county. It is where every year in October they have a festival. It started out as a small affair but has grown over the years to where hundreds of folks come.
When we were in high school it was just a barn dance with a few locals getting together. Now there is Barbecued Chicken, Art, Weaving, Music, Pancakes, Sauerkraut, etc. Vendors from all around bring their arts and crafts. In the autumn it is a photagrapher's paradise.

Hope you enjoyed the ride! |
The country always grabs my heart and I wish I could live on a farm myself. And I really wish I still had a cute figure like you do!
ReplyDeleteDebbie, you live in the most idyllic place, can I move there?
ReplyDeleteI do love your bike, and would have another if I thought I could still hold it up ! lol
YOu and your honey look great... hugs BJ
I would to be around to watch a festival go from a tiny grass roots event and turn into a major festival. How wonderful to know the history of it. Your bikes are huge! You look so tiny next to it!
ReplyDeleteDebbie, thanks for sharing such beautiful pictures. What a nice way to spend the day! I am sure the festival is wonderful!
ReplyDeleteYour picture story brought sunshine to my cloudy... soon to be rainy day. I am glad I bumped into your blog.
Have a Great Week!
Best,

Now this is cool! My hubby and I have talked about getting bikes! When he retires~a few years from now-like maybe 9 more years---hope we could still get on one! Makes me laugh just to think about it!
