A piece of our whimsical, woodsy wedding decor |
Though this time last year was full of so many wonderful things, there is much to look forward to this year as well, including (but not limited to):
- Our 1-year anniversary! (Where has the time gone?!)
- My darling friend's wedding on October 13th!
- Pumpkinfest - The most amazing event in Tennessee (besides the Fainting Goat Festival, I suppose). So great in fact, I may have to give Pumpkinfest it's own blog post one of these days
- Cardigan and scarf weather! (I should say "comfortable cardigan and scarf weather" since I have unsuccessfully tried to sport both this summer)
- Apple picking! Caramel Apples! Apple Crisp! Apple cider!
- Walks in the crunchy leaves at Edwin Warner Park
- Our annual fall viewing of The Village
The delightfully crisp air that has overtaken Nashville was the perfect backdrop for a magical evening at the Tennessee State Fair.
Some people go for the rides, some for the fried "food," some for the exhibits... I go with the hope of meeting a friendly alpaca or two. This fair did not disappoint as I had ample hang time with not one but THREE alpacas, shaggy goats, tiny sheep, momma and bebe mules, super stylin' ducks and an ear-less goat (see bottom right... WHAT IS GOING ON THERE!?!?!)
I was thrilled to find the only stand at the entire fair selling Elephant Ears (apparently a Midwest-exclusive treat?) and Ben got his Swanson on whilst devouring a giant Turkey leg.
Thrilling pig races and Kenyan acrobats were the icing on this Blue Ribbon-worthy cake.
