We had a busy weekend. Our local area throws a festival apptly named Swamp Fest (as it's out in... well you can guess it - a swamp!). Fortunately it's held in a nice dry park and the nearby swamp is more Florida wetlands than say Cajun Bayou. ;)
Dawna, my beautiful, talented and incredibly smart wife (who reads this blog! :P) setup a nice display of her hand painted Whimstones. She got a lot of compliments and even sold a few "rocks". I'm proud of her work and time again people proved me wrong about my preconceived notions about what kinds and styles of animals they like.
I also tried gator tail for the first time and found it too be... well.. kind of greasy, a little rubbery, and surprisingly bland... of course what was I expecting from the arse end of an alligator? For the record it does not taste like chicken!
Overall it was "fun"... or at least as much fun as one can have spending the entire weekend under a plastic awning selling to the public. I realize now that I am woefully unfit from spending to0 time behind a desk under florescent lighting. I feel exhausted from 2 days of sitting and standing!?! Talk about a low impact workout. We really didn't get a whole lot of sun either as there was ample shade. I need to commune with nature a little more before I turn into a pasty doughboy!
Well time to kick back and relax after a hard day of holding my chair to the ground!

Haha! But you get out and into nature WAYYYY more than I do. The closest I get to nature right now is the bird feeder outside my window at work and the occasional day at the beach during summer time! ;)
