The Weekend Roundup - I

I'm going missing for a couple weeks or so. Off on a traveling adventure. I will try to visit yours when I can.

Today's assignment is: Starts with I, Favorite, and Inside.

Starts with I: How about an INDIAN. This photo was taken during a stomp demonstration at the Chickasaw Cultural Center.

Favorite: Besides taking pictures of critters, I also enjoy taking pictures of flowers. When I uploaded this flower to my computer, I discovered a surprise. A weird looking INSECT was enjoying a pollen snack.

Inside: Looking outside from INSIDE the barn.

Just Because: Caterpillars are the babies of INSECTS and therefore considered an INSECT, too.

And Finally: Peach ICE CREAM. Yum!

Stratford Peach Festival

Last Saturday a friend invited me to go to the Stratford Peach Festival in Stratford, OK. Liked the contrast of the old water tower with all the newfangled equipment mounted on top. 

The old Train Depot is still standing.

The temperature was predicted to hit 103°, so we went early. Worked well because the crowd hadn't arrived yet and we didn't get overly hot before we left.

The highlight was the homemade peach ice cream. It is normally made from Stratford peaches, but the blossoms froze this year, so the peaches were shipped in from Texas.

It was quite tasty. $4.00 for a cup seemed a little excessive, but it was worth every penny.

There were lots of vendors hawking their wares, but I only bought one thing. This is a cutting board. The pup reminds me of my Findley. Sadly he crossed the rainbow bridge a couple of years ago.

On the way out of town, we decided to stop in and see what the Purple Swirl Shop had to offer. There was a good mix of antique and collectible items, but I left them all inside the store.

Upon our return, we stopped by one of the Mexican restaurants in town and enjoyed a swirl margarita. Yum!
