beautiful things

Last weekend we went to ArtsFest, a great celebration of the arts that is in its 26th year.

It started with the idea to close off several blocks of a historic downtown street, invite artists to set up displays, and bring everyone out for a nice Spring weekend. It's grown larger every year, and now there are activities all weekend, from the Friday night art walk and ArtsFiesta, a Saturday night concert in the park, and Sunday's event for pets and their owners, ArfFest--love that name!

We went on Saturday and even though it was really crowded, we had a great time browsing (and buying) through all the 140 artists' booths, watching the dancing, and listening to the musicians that were all over the place.

Some were great just to listen to--
















and some welcomed audience participation, especially kids.














We spent most of the afternoon, then came home to tackle a little yard work while the weather was still good. I was out there on Sunday, too, and managed to get a couple pictures.


Enjoy your week.
