Quick glance back at Lotus weekend

There has been so much going on that I haven't told you about Lotus weekend!
The Ohio Cousins have made a tradition to come for this world Music Festival and we were delighted to have them again this year.
The Festival is more than the music, although there was plenty of that and very enjoyable too.
In fact, here is the first bit of music we heard - that fearless goldfinch eating seeds only a few feet away from the gathering crowds.
We began with a downtown feast at Uptown, 

  and then did the traditional hopping from venue to venue to catch a bit of a dozen sets -- here a Hungarian group gets set up in one of the hosting churches.

And when we were early for the Irish set at the theater, no worries --
waiting just gave everyone a chance to check their email.
Two nights of music..
and two days of exploring our town.
Got to visit the Farmer's Market
and talk to the vendors about the delicious fresh veggies we brought home.
Have to make a trip to Nashville...wait - haven't I taken this picture before??
The trip to Lake Monroe was a highlight
and we tasted the first ripe persimmons of the year.
So summer is ended and autumn begun.
