New Friends at the Philadelphia Folk Festival

The Gator at the Gate

Corny the Frog

I made some new friends at the Philadelphia Folk Festival. As we entered there was a gator at the gate and also a frog named Corny. Once the humans were settled in I went back up to the gate and introduced myself.

Oh oh the Chicken of the Sea Mermaid, Catalina,was there. I signed up to win tuna for the cats.

Toby and New Kitteh

While I was up there I looked around in the craft area, where I got myself my very own Hmong craft kitteh who looks a lot like our cat.

Can you help me name the kitteh?

Hmong Craft Monkeys!

With Pang Xiong and a craft Monkey

I met some cute monkeys at the Hmong craft booth. The owner, Pang Xiong, was very nice and posed with me and a monkey. I checked on Facebook and found she is Hmong Arts & Crafts from Laos, Upper Darby, PA.

Bagpipes at the Philadelphia Folk Festival

Toby Loves The Bagpipes

Pipe Major Dennis Hangey has been the official piper at the Philadelphia Folk Festival for a long time. He pipes across the grounds and up onto the stage to chase the evil spirits away. Or so they tell me.

I sure do love bagpipes!!!

Toby Meets A Mermaid!

Toby and Catalina, the
Chicken of the Sea Mermaid

The Chicken of the Sea mermaid, Catalina, was at the Folk Fest for The Great American Gratitude Tour. She snuggled me! *whispers* She didn't smell like fish at all!

I entered her contest to win a year of tuna for the cats.

Fixin' To Garden

It's almost time to plant a garden. The perennials are already off and running while most everything else is in the basement sprouting.

Mowing the Lawn

When I went outside today I found that the grass was too high so I did what had to be done.

The Grass Is Too High.
