Busy day in Bristol today - and I tried it all.
Started out with a trip to the farmers market. Came home with homemade pesto bread, a dozen apples, a hunk of cheddar cheese, and a single-portion of German chocolate cake. All of that followed a sausage biscuit and a cup of coffee from concessions.
Next to the Central Fire Station to watch WellmontOne land - it was a perfect landing in a tight spot. More later.
Off to Steele Creek Park on bike for the wildlife weekend. Met Chippy, the new park mascot; chatted with friends and staff; and then to downtown to visit Boyd's Bicycle Shop. What a great business and downtown institution - had a slow-leak in the back tire that they promptly replaced and then to the Fire Department open house.
Ever have one of those hungry days? A few pizza slices, hot dogs, and tortilla chips later, wandered over to WellmontOne air transport to make a close inspection. Quite an impressive bird which is great to have stationed in our own backyard.
The afternoon was as eventful. A long hike on the spillway trail at South Holston Lake and then a day ending visit to Inari Wines Gourmet Market - another great downtown business.
A days full of activities rolled into one beautiful fall day - another great reason to live in Bristol.
