Cooler nights again, wonderful for sleeping, you can tell the summer is winding down, later sunrises and earlier sunsets. But that is ok still quite comfortable and just over 2 months and we can begin our southern migration.
Around 6 am we got another very nice sunrise casting shadows across the yard, gonna be an awesome day.
I got a couple of miles walked about town enjoying this wonderful quiet warm sunny Saturday morning. Then a walk across the road into the bush for a bit until it got too muddy.

but did not want to get lost |

About 3 pm Suzie's Dad came by and he followed us down the road to Elmer and Kay's Place for the yearly Pa Fest. They have been doing this for over 40 years I believe, and always a fun time and great turn out, lots of good food too.

We pulled in the farm lane and got parked and grabbed our chairs and cooler, sit in the shade and begin chatting with a few people here and there.

Walking about always somebody to chat with we have not seen for a while, nice to see everyone all in one place. In particular we chatted with Brian, a local farmer, for the longest time, I have know him for probably over 30 years, he reads our blog and even a few others on our sidebar, I know because he was asking us about some of you other fellow bloggers. The meat is ready so Dan begins slicing the brisket, oh so tasty.
 |
| smells wonderful |
 |
| grace was said and the food begins |
 |
| so much tasty food no one need to go hungry |
 |
| pork on the left, brisket on the right |

With full tummies and cooling down we said our fair wells thanks to Ma and Pa for inviting us to this wonderful yearly get together with family and friends then headed home about 8:30, we had a busy long day.

even a nice sunset on the way home
a perfect ending for a perfect day |
That was it for us today, thanks for dropping on by and hope y'all had a great day as well.

Pa Days! What a great way for all the sons, daughters and grands+ to spend time with the extended families and all the friends too. That's a good excuse to eat too much!
