I experienced a moment of perfect contentment this weekend, sitting on a storm drain at the farmer’s market Saturday morning, watching people walk by and listening to a local band.
Note the babies on the backs of the musicians. Totally Lawrence.

Happy Saint Patrick’s Day

We stopped downtown today to spend a little time at the St. Patrick’s Day Parade. It looked like most the the town had taken off work for the event; parking was a nightmare, and there were thousands of people lining Mass Street. Before the parade started, the reviewing stand was serenaded by a fiddle quartet:
Good music
Everyone was decked out in their best “Irish” garb.
How many green fro wigs do you see?
His shirt says "Irish Craic Addict." Craic - "fun, enjoyment, abandonment, or lighthearted mischief; often in the context of drinking or music" - Oxford English Dictionary
The Groundhog Was Right

We woke up to this today:
Snow!
We ended up with 2.5 inches, nothing major, just a little reminder that it is technically still February.
Halloween Paint-In

It’s that time of year again. We got up bright and early to decorate a window downtown. Kaity had been working on the design for the last several weeks, and put the finishing touches on last night.
The Halloween Paint-In is always the weekend before Halloween, which, being as we’re in Kansas, means it’s cold. We had a great window, right next to the paint station, and wasted no time getting to work.
Morning on the River

It was foggy this morning, and a cloud had settled in right over the bridge.
Sunlight scattered as it refracted off the water vapor, and we were driving through a rainbow. I love mornings like this.
Day 355: Phenomenal Fauna

Kaity drug me outside this morning to see this little guy:
Green June Beetle
As we pulled into the driveway this evening, I saw something large stuck to the screen door. Investigation revealed this:
A Luna Moth. I’ve only ever seen these in entomology collections. Just beautiful, and one of the things I enjoy most about living outside the city limits.
Day 354: What’s Wrong with this Picture?

My dad told me that on the day I was born, hell froze over (it was apparently very cold for July). But this is ridiculous. Maybe someone at the NWS was having a little fun.
