Our last art show of the season was a washout. Literally.
We haven’t had rain for a long time, we are in a drought situation, but it really came down during our yearly village street party on Sunday, which is a mini art show as well.
It’s a place where everybody knows your name. The whole village seems to come out and it’s very special. There were a lot of people in the village because it was a Sunday, but they were not part of the street fair. They don’t really know about it.
Usually this art stroll/street fair is sunny and seems to be the hottest day of the year each year. The cucumber punch stand is the most popular. But this past Sunday, the weather was ok for a bit, and then the skies opened.
I hung out with some friends for a bit, which was nice, but I see them all the time. I look forward to seeing people that I don’t see so often, but that was not to be.
One friend and I separated and we went to a local restaurant, where there were a lot of people who ran over to get out of the rain. There was a 30 minute wait, and not many people we knew. But the food was great and the waiter remembered me from last time and brought me my favorite dish, so that was nice.
When I returned home, the street out front was flooded. The city has been working on adding new drainage pipes for a few months now. But in the process, they closed up the current drainage pipes, so that causes quite a lake when it pours, which luckily hasn’t been often. I think the last time was on Thanksgiving day.
Anyway, it’s the end of art season and the beginning of Spring and Summer. New seasons to enjoy.
Till next time . . .
