Saturday was awesome.
I had been looking forward to it all week and thankfully it was more awesome than I expected.
I was excited about Terhune Orchard's peach festival
and I was originally planning on leaving right at 9:30 so I could get there when it started at 10.
Everything seemed to be working against me.
It was raining.
The Tiny was crabby.
I kept forgetting things.
Finally at 10:30, we left the house.
I made a few wrong turns (very scenic wrong turns might I add)
when I saw a sign that said "FABRIC GARAGE SALE! 9-11."
I just had to go.
I flipped on my blinker and turned right into that place.
This lady had TONS of fabrics.
I kept thinking that she was Matt's nightmare.
A house full of fabric for projects that never got done.
But she was selling at an amazing price.
$1 per lb.
So I had to get some.
I only had $1, but probably got about 3 yards of fabric.
I chatted with the other lady that was browsing there.
Turns out she gives sewing lessons for adults!
I found her website when I got home.
http://ahappystitch.com/
I think I might try to take one of those.
After that delightful delay,
we finally went to the Peach Festival.
Only they didn't let you pick peaches.
Just blueberries for $2.75 a lb!
Other moms were turning back, but not me.
I didn't balk at the thought of off-road strollering in the rain.
(Poor Lance probably hates me for it)
And after the blueberries came the blackberries.
Madeleine was not that interested.
But she sure looked adorable on the little milking stool.
She ate this one up.
A lady there was like, "Oh! How cute!!! She is such a girl. Look at her loving flowers. She's such a sweet girly girl."
No.
She just likes eating everything.
She was still munching and playing with that poor flower when we got home.

And after the blueberries came the blackberries.
I know they don't look black, but there were plenty of black ones there too.
By then I had spent half of the cash I had brought with me,
so we explored the farm a bit.
This is a practice cow to milk.
You squeeze the utter and water squirts out.
Madeleine was not that interested.
But she sure looked adorable on the little milking stool.
Still rocking 2 feet.
The orchard also had a huge flower garden that they let you pick flowers from for 25 cents each.
I was pretty thrilled to get some.
So was Tiny.
She ate this one up.

No.

The survivors...for now.
I ended that day with going to the Cheesecake Factory with a big group of women at church.
Told you it was a perfect day,
but then again, any day that ends with chocolate cake is pretty perfect.
