Fall at work

Fall is upon us and our environment is beginning to change. I walked around work a couple days ago and snapped these photos

Renaissance Faire

This last weekend the family made a trip to the Renaissance Faire in Hollister, CA. My 2 daughters, wife, son-in-law and of course Irelan and her mom. Everyone was in agreement that it was a great time. As usual pictures are provided with some commentary. Enjoy

The morning of the Renaissance Faire, Irelan spent the night at our house and these are a couple of shots of Irelan posing eating her cereal breakfast.




This is one of the open areas at the Faire.


We stopped at site that was having a puppet show and let Irelan enjoy it. I don't think she was the only one enjoying it




Irelan wanted to get on this big, humongous swing, so Tasha and I got on it with her. It was a lot of fun but I felt sorry for the 2 large burly men that had to swing us.




I liked these ribbons that where hanging. The colors gave a nice presentation of the colors at the Faire.


One of the performers.


This was the stage of a really funny show put on by 2 really funny ladies.


Some material sold at the Faire.



I don't know what this is or what it represents but I knew I had to get a picture of it.


I really liked this hanging glass ornament


Future be told.


After the Faire, we visited a farm that had a lot of interesting play things for kids





On the way home, everyone was tired. Tasha and the princess took the opportunity to get some shut eye.

Firewood

Last weekend I received my firewood delivery, 3 cords of it. It took a couple of days to stack it in my backyard but I finally finished with the help of my son-in-law and neighbor. I've been doing this for 30 years and it doesn't get any easier. It's good to have help.

The wood piled on my driveway.


My backyard before the wood.

Pirate

Saw this cool ornament in the parking lot, so I took a picture. I have a few more that I will be showing in the near future.

Light Pole Base.

This is the base of one of the light poles in a parking lot. Interesting rust design.
