hot first day of Cornfest

I can take a hint
there are only yesterdays
left to remember

Today was the first day of Cornfest! Yes, I get excited about Cornfest. 🙂 One of the groovy things about living out here in Brentwood is Cornfest. This year, because of construction downtown, Cornfest is being held in a large field. It may seem like a neat thing because everything is so spread out but I really miss the downtown location. The heat was strong and the wind, though nice, also kicked up dirt and straw.

The reason I love Cornfest is the the corn. Seriously. I could have totally used more butter. It was good nonetheless. 😉

We rode the ferris wheel! It was pretty up there but I didn’t really like when we stopped near the top. It was kinda freaky.

We had to cut our time short because of family obligations, so we missed the fireworks. 🙁 Next year!

Oh, and today was the last shuttle launch. I “watched” it online. I teared up a little. Alas!

Omigosh, Charles Mesure joined the cast of Desperate Housewives! Am I fangirl enough to watch it for him? I dunno. But I’m happy for him. It can only mean good things. 🙂
