Scenes from Authors' Alley

 The day started at 5 am. Not my best time of day. And after all the lugging of stuff, talking with people and whatever, I am pretty much beat.

We had 13 canopies and 23 authors in Author Alley at the Muskegon Lakeshore Art Festival. We did not have any rain. The wind tried to get a bit frisky, but then it calmed down again. No complaints about the weather.


Jean has really capitalized on the "chicken" thing. Today, she had Laya. You can see that the kids are fascinated. Lots of adults are too. Laya is in Kay-Kay's book (the first chicken book which Jean is holding), but Laya is writing her own book that will be available soon.

UFO? Nope, there was a lady down on the corner making bubbles. This wasn't even the biggest one, but it's the only one I got a picture of.

Our booths are right across from Hackley Park. I always think it's interesting to see what gets planted in urban flower beds. Stela d'Oro lilies, impatiens, and a hydrangea. It would be hard to get more standard than that. But it looks good.

I'm going to try to do a little bit of editing before I crash, but I'm pretty much done. I'm spending the night with Jean, and then we do it again tomorrow.

Lulu: "That looks like a fun event! Although 5am is a little early, even for us!"
