I didn't get to the woods, but...

It was a good day. a very good day...

It's AspenFest weekend; our little village celebrates 60 years this fall: our Diamond Anniversary!

The town was full of people. We watched the parade. Every school team, every church, political parties, banks & retail merchants, the Wells Fargo stagecoach, the Amarillo TX Muleskinners, bands, and Shriners.
It was definitely small-town and was very short on music for my tastes, but it's a big deal here and was lots of fun.

We skipped the Chili Cook-off. None of the competition chilies are half as good as Joel's and ...well, that's just not my scene.

We went to the Arts & Crafts show sponsored by the local gymnastics association and tripped out over some wire and glass hangy-down things. Also found the BEST sweet & hot green chili relish. mmm-m-m good!

Shared a good lunch and won $60 bucks on the penny slots!

Not bad at all for a sunny fall day in a gorgeous place in this world. When I got home I sat on the porch and read a good mystery. Home was calm today; people had fun and were content in the moment.

A lovely day...

I didn't get to the woods, but I felt like it. A lovely respite.
I hope you had a peaceful Saturday, too. :)
