Burger Fest has begun. Bob and I saw the beginnings when balloons took off from Seymour early this morning.
Since the hot air balloons went north we got a glimpse of them from our upper deck.
We watched them from a distance, but that was fine.
It was a lovely morning. Perfect for ballooning.
At 11 I’ll be at the parade with Rachel and her family.
Tonight is another glow. An exciting time in Seymour

It’s the 31st Annual Burger Fest in Seymour Wisconsin this weekend.
Tonight there will be a hot air balloon glow by Rockledge Park. This will also happen Saturday night. Here are a few photos I’ve taken of past events.
Tomorrow is the 8 am Bun run and World’s largest Hamburger Parade at 11. And don’t forget the Ketchup slide at 4.
I’ll be helping in the museum in the afternoon on Saturday. Stop on in.

Bob and I were set up at the Seymour Farmer’s Market by 1:30. The market opened at 2, but there were already people walking around.
Even before two I made a sale and happily looked forward to the rest of our time at the market.
About the time of the official opening, Bob said was starting to rain. I thought he was crazy as I just checked my WeatherBug and it had nothing on the radar.
Guess what? It was raining, or at least sprinkling. I moved my books farther under our canopy. The sprinkle didn’t stop but speeded up. I had to cover the table with my books, but the rest of my stuff got rained on. It didn’t hurt the tiles or Rebecca’s trees.
No one shut down during the shower, though some did cover up their displays.
Can you tell that my table and painted ties are wet? No big problem though. After the rain stopped I wiped everything down, uncovered my dry books, and continued selling at the market.
The rest of the day was lovely. Only a small portion of Seymour got the pop-up shower. The rest of town stayed dry and didn’t realize they missed the shower.

It’s Tuesday, so once again we were at the Seymour Farmer’s Market.
The weather was predicted to have pop-up showers today, but lucky for us none popped here. We had a nice day with a lovely breeze.
There could have been more shoppers at the market, but maybe they were saving themselves for the county fair which started tonight with a tractor pull. Bob entertained himself by watching all the trailers with tractors on them, driving to the fair. Most were IH.
From our booth/canopy we could see the people to our west who were selling handmade teddybears and a bunch of other crocheted items.
East of us was a couple selling vegetables.
See the blue cooler on the table to the left above the yellow bucket. A little boy was selling lemonade at the end of his mother’s table. Bob and I bought a cup from him for fifty cents each.
All in all, it was another nice Tuesday.
I haven’t had time for reading lately. Today I finally cracked open Book 5 of Harry Potter again.
The trouble was I kept nodding off as I tried to read.
When each new Harry Potter book came out, I took a book vacation and read it–I’m a slow reader so it took me a while. Now, since I know the stories so well, and I’m kind of tired, my eyes close too easily.
I ended up finishing a couple more chapters today before giving in and taking a nap. Maybe I’ll try another chapter tomorrow….there’s a long way to go to the end of the series.
