If you have been following along for the past couple of days, you know that we recently attended the Renaissance Faire in Triune, TN. Not only did we witness people in period dress, we also had an opportunity to observe some Renaissance-type activities.

We actually watched the Royal Joust! As I have mentioned before, the temperature on last Saturday in Middle Tennessee was very hot! It was amazing to watch this event take place on the field in the sunshine, with the horses and riders dressed appropriately for the event. This was the first time we have seen an event such as this, and we really enjoyed it.
Taking place in a more shaded location was a gathering of fairies.

The Fairies of Covington Glen roamed about the festival grounds. I found them most delightful!
Tuesday was a busy day, beginning first with a stop at the Weight Watchers center for my monthly weigh in. By the skin of my teeth, I am still at goal making 4 1/2 years! Then I headed for the Senior Center and some time playing bridge. Today, my time is being spent with ordinary chores like laundry.:)
We are enjoying some things from the garden. Come back for the next post, and I'll show you what we have.:)
Thank you for following along. I enjoy reading your comments.
Going to a Renaissance Faire is wonderful fun! There is one held every summer in upstate NY. Don't you love how everyone dresses up in character and how they sell the giant grilled turkey legs?

Whenever Auntie moves around,
Her dresses make a curious sound,
They trail behind her up the floor,
And trundle after through the door."

It all sounds wonderful. Thank you for sharing the pictures with us.
