Weekend diversions...



Fire Dancer
So the US Budget crisis is a drag, so to change subjects for a few minutes and think of something else I am putting up a few pictures of my weekend. On Saturday night I went with a few friends out to one of the area farms that makes a corn maze and pumpkin patch. If you have never been in a corn maze, it is a field of corn with paths cut through, or not planted, which allows you to wonder around and through it. This maze had several areas to enjoy entertainment. There was a large tent with a cover band playing Johnny Cash music, a tent showing a movie, fire dancers and wondering musicians. Of course it was night so it was dark, which makes it more of a challenge to wonder through.

On Sunday, the morning brought a wonderful sunny sky and a run through the trees was in order. On top of one of the hills is an old house which has a wonderful view. To get there I ran a trail, about three miles one way, through the arboretum and tree covered hill. The view was great and the temperature was a very nice running 65 degrees. After the run I went down to the river for lunch at a local restaurant, nice view of the boats and people enjoying the sun.
