It cooled down overnight again, 38F at 5 am, Did not take long to turn some heat on and get toasty warm inside. With the lovely sunrise this morning came some warmth and was quite comfortable for my first walkabout, for about a mile.
Interestingly I saw some hoof prints in a few places from the burros, but still have not spotted any yet.

Shortly after 9 am our good friends Ron, Loree and Freddy had secured their coach and headed on out eastbound on their way home for some scenic drives. We had our hugs and see ya laters, safe travels guys and see you when we get back home, in a month or so.

Now at 9:30 I wanted to pick up a few things in Ajo so headed on in. wow was I ever surprised that the Ajo Plaza was packed with vendors selling lots stuff, food baked goods, crafts even had some Mexican children dancing on the stage there with their colourful costumes. The whole town was bustling after all the weekend and tourists passing through. and a perfect morning for it.

Nice pictures of the fair. Those wood carvings would have interested me just for decoration in my kitchen. Looks like it is now the perfect weather and time to be in Ajo.
ReplyDeleteIt was a fun fair , I have made many of those wood carvings and still have a few on the go. We are loving this weather.
DeleteThe fair looked great loved the wooden kitchen ware. I hear the wild flowers are everywhere out there
ReplyDeleteThe wooden ware and carvings are very nice and fun to make. More wildflowers arriving every day
DeleteWhat a nice surprise to find the Ajo festival. Something happened to your font, so teeny but it came back at the end of your post. :) You're not even near alien country yet.
ReplyDeleteIt was a nice surprise and interesting event for sure. Yeah my font went funky , was having issues with my intern et for a while on my phone, tried to fix it and copy and past to a new template, same thing, The aliens are after me I think.
DeleteWhat a great market! I love spending time looking at all the goodies!!
ReplyDeleteIt was a wonderful small town market.
DeleteLooks like everybody turned out for the festival. So much fun for the small town, glad you stumbled over it and shared the experience.
ReplyDeleteIt was so nice to see this on a usually quiet day here in AJO.
DeleteWhat a wonderful festival. Such vivid colours in some of your photos. The produce looked amazing. Glad you're enjoying your time there.
ReplyDelete(t was very nice , glad I decided to go to town for a few supplies or would have missed it,,
DeleteThanks Deb we are enjoying these wonderful clear blue sunny skies.
Those fresh veggies at the fair looked amazing. Wish we could get some that good here where we live.
ReplyDeleteThey do look amazing mostly local I believe.
DeleteI've been meaning to tell you, if you ever run out of your favorites to read try Michael McGarrity's books. Tularosa: A Kevin Kerney Novel Series Book 1. They are set in the SW and I think you might like them. McGarrity is an ex-cop so he does a good job writing this series.
ReplyDeleteHey Joyce thanks for the tip we will check him out and am sure we enjoying his books as well.
DeleteThe flea market would be just up my alley! Between good food and all those other goodies I know I'd enjoy it especially in beautiful weather! I'm so glad you enjoyed the pizza! I made on yesterday too to take over to our neighbor Karen's and she loved it too! I do enjoy your recipes as seen from the other night. Those tuna melts are so delicious!
ReplyDeleteThe pizza was excellent we both enjoyed it, will do it again, Glad your enjoy some of my recipes they are usually quick easy and tasty. Gotta do the tuna melt again soon.
