A Night at the Fair
Mr. M and I had a special Tuesday evening date last night! After work, we got all gussied up and headed out to the county faire. It was harness racing night, and we were especially excited to watch the pacers.
The evening had cooled down considerably- thank heavens!- and it was nice to stroll along the main walk, looking at the shiny marquis. Here are some of our favorites:
We sat in the grandstands as evening fell, sipping a lemon shake-up and watching the races. As night fell, the bare bulbs came on, casting shadows from the wooden rafters, and the horses and jockeys raced through the dusk- we could hear the rattle of the sulkies' wheels and the pounding of the horses' hooves.
It was so nice to feel a million miles away from work, enjoying a summer evening just a few miles from our own backyard. On the drive home, the tree frogs and locusts were singing as we drove along with the windows down, and the old-timey street lights dimly lit our path home.
Summer time in the middle of the Midwest-
