Greenbelt Labor Day Festival includes Live Band entertainment

Saturday afternoon's weather was just right for browsing the book sale, pitching some balls to win prizes, eating funnel cakes, and listening to some music in Greenbelt.  The festival runs through Labor Day itself, Monday.  Get out and celebrate the holiday with your family, friends, and neighbors!  Oh, and there's a Labor Day Parade, too!  Find the details here.

No Twelfth Nights this year

Last night I was driving through parts of the county and I noticed that nearly all the lights and holiday decor were dark, or dismantled --- already. I am old enough that I remember years when EVERY home on a block had Christmas lights up, and kept them up for a good long time. Is it the economy, or the cultural changes in the county, or just that the pace of life moves so fast now that we can't even enjoy the banishing of the darkness much after the Winter Solstice?

Whichever the reason, the world is again darker and less colorful, hereabouts.

I miss the holidays already
