fire-eater

we sat in the park on saturday - the entire neighbourhood all together listening to music, talking, laughing, connecting. it was great. the day of skeleton park music festival is one of my favourite days of the year. we're super fortunate to have this great park and great festival in walking distance to our homes.

the weather was PERFECT, and we thoroughly enjoyed sitting in both the sun and the shade. thru-out the whole day people came and went from our blanket. it was really fun to see such a unique collection of folks to hangout with at once! one of the more amusing parts was when shannon and brendan were mistaken as husband and wife and someone took their photo (without their knowledge). it was surprising since b was sitting up against me, so we weren't exactly sure how the confusion occured. another highlight was when shannon told us the story about a seagull attacking her face. oh and when i opened the porta-potty door and there was a man in it. that was super awkward. i still don't understand why he didn't lock the door behind him!

the music was great. a little more country than in the past, which was actually alright. there was also a strong soul presence too. country and soul, what a combo!

b and i decided to take a picnic in our classic picnic basket. it's fun to picnic, it requires some fore-thought but that's something i'm getting increasingly good at. i packed both a lunch and a supper! we sat on that spot of park from 11 am til after dark. we didn't get home til after 11 pm! it was great :) on the third saturday of june, there's no place i'd rather be than in that park.

i don't care about money,
i don't care about time,
i don't care about reason,
reason don't care much for me.

I still have problem organizing picnics. I never have enough food, or the right type. I am very good with BBQ's though.
