Mayfaire
I had a WONDERFUL Mother's Day and I hope that you did too!
I was spoiled with cards, flowers, presents, lunch AND dinner and of course sweet Maggie kisses! ;-)
As we traditionally do, we strolled down our sidewalk to Mayfaire, which is held every Mother's Day weekend....
There were many displays of colorful art.....
And colorful birds also joined in the fun.....
Lots of hot babies were pushed in style......
And very hot doggies were VERY good sports .....
pssst.... this is Maggie's cute cousin - Bo!
There were plenty of pretty places to cool down....
And ladies wore their pretty hats......
Lemonade was available to quench the thirst....
And plenty of fair food was on hand to satisfy appetites....
It was a lovely time - I SO love living downtown. :-)
***********************************************************
At the end of the day,
As the sun dipped from the sky
My heart knew ONCE AGAIN,
How very blessed am I.
What a lovely way to spend Mother's Day afternoon. Gazing at all that art, good food and fun people.

Looks as though you had a terrific Mother's Day! What a nice tradition and fun place to spend the day with gorgeous weather. Is Mayfaire in Florida? I'm new so I don't know. Your photos are excellent it's just like being there. Thanks for sharing your talents.

Kim, it looks and sounds like a lovely day. I know you so enjoyed being with your family.
I spent the day with my family, too. And, I enjoyed every minute.

What a wonderful day you must have had. The weather was great, the art was beautiful, and the lemonade was cold. What more could one ask? Amy :)

Hi Kim :)
It looks and sounds like you had an absolutely wonderful Mother's Day. What a fun looking fair! I really like that artist's photogragh of the house with the yellow door. It doesn't even look real, it's so pretty.
I love that time of the day when the sun streams in on a perfect spot. Wonderful for day dreaming, don't you think ;)
Did you end up getting any rain yet? I hope you didn't mind that I asked the rain Gods to send you some ;)
off to read your latest post...
hugs,
rue

Kim,
I'm so glad you had such a lovely mother's day! It really rained all day here, but that was a good enough excuse to have just a loungy day with the family. Cassie
