This N That

 

Hubs got a new small appliance. It's an indoor smoker.
You feed it wood pellets and it cooks and smokes your meat. Here's a nice tri-tip roast he made. 
It's a very slow cooker but has no smoke at all in the house. The roast was delicious!

This is a throw blanket I got for the holiday gift from my employer one year. It's soft and nice, but why does the binding ALWAYS come loose on these kinds of things?


I got this sewn back on, so there's at least one thing done!
It was Arts Fest down town a few weeks ago, so I packed up Dilly and we went to town.
We looked at quite a bit of art, but he was a tired fella after a block or two. So we headed home.
He decided to sit on the porch, carried his rocking chair out there and had a good little sit down.
And as always he is busy in the yard.
I switched out the baby swing, he's getting the hang of it a little bit.

But Sunday he pulled the baby swing out and wanted it hung back up. 
Then he spent at least an hour figuring out the snaps that secure the straps. He climbed in and hopped out like a champ. Too hot to stay outside too long. 
And did I mention he's learning to pedal his bike?
He's getting the hang of it pretty well.
The bike has been inside and outside and I have to keep an eye on him or he'll try to ride it off the porch steps!! That's all caught up for this week!

Art Fest in Iowa City

So DD and me took Lucy to the Art Fest in downtown Iowa City Iowa over the weekend. She did a great job! I mean Lucy....DD is always awesome:-), she greeted other dogs nicely and there were a lot of dogs to meet! In this picture she was about done for the day, she drank her water and was ready to rest.
The art was wonderful as always!
Even the bookmobile was there!
Art, art, art,
This chair is from the furniture folks over in Amana.
Art, art, art!
The rose bushes in downtown were blooming like crazy! So pretty!
This little Dude was selling his original, made while you wait, artwork.
A+ for entrepreneurship!
Drums and musical instruments. The vendor told a child nearby that you had to be as tall as the didgeridoo to play it!
This booth from ArtiFactory is an organization that holds classes and instructional, informative meetings all about art. We had a great day. I just love seeing all the creative work!
Meanwhile at home, Jager is eating mulberries off the tree about as fast as they get ripe! Silly Doggie!

Arts Festival!

 SO our annual pilgrimage to Arts Fest in Downtown Iowa City was such fun! If you hadn't noticed them around town, there's a new Herky on parade happening.  Here's the link to see all of the Herky's Herky on Parade 2014. There are a lot of Herkys downtown, that's all I'm saying.
 Anyways, the art was great as always. Lots to see and there's always something new too!
 We lucked out and went early on Sunday and really beat the crowds!
 Loved these shelves made out of pianos
 Potery and clay sculptures are always amazing.
 Oh another Herky.....
 The food section had several new things to try. John and I tried the Twister potato. It's a twisted potato ad you can get chicken or a hot dog with it-we went with the hot dog, and it was really good.
 I could feel my arteries clogging as I ate it, that deep fried goodness yum!
And my favorite thing this year...
Doggy-dration station! There are quite a few dogs visiting the arts fest and what a great idea for them!

Art Festival is Coming Right Up

 Every year DD and me try to get to the Iowa City Art Festival
It's in Downtown Iowa City and is really amazing. There's music, and crafts, and stuff for kids to make, and art to see, and peopel to watch and food to eat. 
Well this year I signed up to be a volunteer! Go Here-the Summer of the Arts Home Page.
And sign up. I'm going to be an artist's helper. I get to help an artist, so when they need a little break, I come around and watch their stuff for them, or if they need help getting something, I get to help them. For 2 little hours 11:30-1:30 I'll be an artist's helper and I get a free T shirt too! See you on Saturday June 2!
