A Parade and a Party
Sometimes, you just have to see something to believe it. 
Who thought this was a good idea? Really, who? I think I'm going to have nightmares about the balloon on lady legs.
Anyway.
It was Ciderfest in our little corner of the Annapolis Valley this past weekend and we caught the parade by accident when we were out walking the dogs. Arlo LOVED the cows and the fire trucks. 
On Saturday night we went to a party. It was hosted by one of our friend's relatives, and seems to have been a tribute party on the anniversary of someone who was killed... during a drug deal? Or something? And a bunch of metal heads, drug dealers, and bikers all got together? And there was live music, a giant party tent, and a lit up picture of the deceased? And, for some reason, we went too. Oh, and we took a three-week old kitten with us just to make the situation more bizarre. It's hard to explain to a drunk lady why you are in her friend's kitchen during some sort of death-metal murder tribute party, warming a miniature baby bottle under the tap.
They were actually all very nice people, but it seriously was a rough crowd. 
As the night wore on, we sat around a fire on the fringes of the crowd, listening to surprisingly well-equipped bands of varying degrees of talent play loud music.
To amuse ourselves during the bad music, we made faces at each other and tried to sing along. 
Would you like to hear some of the less talented musicians that performed? Here ya go:
Anyway, it was a pretty entertaining evening. 
Back on the home front, we are eagerly anticipating fencing supplies. All of our posts were planted by Thursday - I kind of enjoyed all the digging and measuring and throwing around of dirt and rocks. 
The wire fencing will hopefully arrive some time during the coming week, and then up it goes! I'm excited!
