Enjoy your holiday and remember the true meaning of Memorial Day.  This photo I snapped yesterday just seems like the right one to go with this post:

I did not know Amish kids smoked…saw this pair at Devon.  Or maybe they were Mennonite?

One of the best things about Devon are all the cute kids – some riding, some just in awe of the horse show, the rides….the Devon Fudge and lemon sticks….

It was fun to be there on the first day.  Scored a killer hat from a lady from Northeast Harbor Maine who had surprisingly reasonable prices (there was one little store peddling significantly more expensive hats).  She has a store called “The Romantic Room”….I showed restraint, only bought one…had a Devon burger, pink lemonade, watched horses and civilized life go by.

In short, it was a fabulous day.

There were also a plethora of plein air painters out and  about.

I haven’t been a daytimer at Devon in 20 years.  Did see one gal from my class in high school.  It pained me that it pained her to say hello.  (Not really, I found it amusing that she was as I remembered….just older.)

But seriously, Devon Horse Show was really nice today.  (And I made it to my car just before the heavens opened up.)

Enjoy the photos!  Find more HERE.
