Labor Day

Every Labor Day our town has weekend festivities; including a Hot Air Balloon dawn patrol, a car show, arts and craft show and also a good size parade.
One of the things that the balloonists do is to drop down and touch the water; from our house it looks like the balloon is actually landing on the beach.  Hubby took these shots when he was at the golf course, so this is not our view.


There were so many equestrian groups and some beautiful horses.  You can imagine how excited our grands were to see them.
I thought this was such a beautiful bloom on our daughter's artichoke plant.  I love the color and the only thing that could have made it better is if they had actually harvested some of the chokes.
I hope you are having a wonderful Labor Day, filled with family activities and rest.

    What a nice Labor Day event there. Do you know I have never seen a bloom on an artichoke? I didn't even know they had blooms- is that sad, or what?;>) Blessings- xo Diana

    Great pictures of the balloon. Our dog is not afraid of storms or fireworks, but hot air balloons terrify him.
    Our parade seemed a little shorter this year, which wasn't a bad thing....still lots of fun.

    Gorgeous pictures. And enlightening as I didn't know that artichokes bloomed. ;-)

    My Labor Day was a good one ... some hand quilting and some time with DD and her family. A good day.
