This weekend, I went back to Inspector Climate's childhood home in Gippsland. It coincided with a yearly tradition of a mother's day parade. I've been to everyone the town has ever done, which is impressive because neither Inspector Climate nor his sister can boast the same.
Here are some pictures from the parade:
(Why yes, those are women dressed as Marge Simpson on lawn mowers).
Someone tried to tell me recently that autumn in Melbourne's eastern suburbs looks like the foliage we get in New England. To say I scoffed is an understatement.
I was trying to get a picture of Inspector Climate sleeping, but instead...I give you this. You're welcome.
How was your weekend?
Aw, you guys are impossibly cute.
ReplyDeleteAw, you guys are impossibly cute.
ReplyDeleteIC has nice teeth! You both do, actually.
ReplyDeleteLove to see the little snippets from bloggers' lives -- keep snappin' shots, girl! :D
ReplyDeleteGet that iPhone back out lady, tht's what it's for! Ok, technically not! But how cute are those kiddos
ReplyDeleteWhy, thank you for the pictures. Looks like good times were had by all!
ReplyDeletehaha what a cute sign :)
ReplyDeleteHi Deidre!

ReplyDeleteYou two look so happy and lovely together. Great signage :)
ReplyDeleteParades are so fun! And that little girls sign is cracking me up! It was a good weekend over here as well...just without Marge Simpson;)
ReplyDeleteScoff away, my friend. Those leaves are no New England autumn...especially if that flower picture was taken at nearly the same time!
ReplyDeleteLoved the picture sharing! :)
Hilarious Marge pics. I once went as Marge to a halloween and wearing that blue wig was a riot!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a happy time was had, great pics.
ReplyDeletelol why in the world were there Marges on lawnmowers? I am slightly confused, but that's okay. I'm sure I've seen stranger things in parades.
ReplyDeleteI somehow doubt that autumn in australia is even remotely similar to autumn in New England.
It looks like you had a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteUmm... the sign that the little girl is holding is AWESOME! :)
ReplyDeleteXO Lourdes
These are some great shots! I know....I'm like that too, sometimes just forgot to take pictures of my surroundings. Glad you took these pretty ones and shared. :)
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, Marge Simpson on the lawn mower is cracking me up!

Love those roses! Beautiful! Marge on a mower! Now I have seen it all! And I get why you scoffed! New England is soooo hands down gorgeous in the fall...nothing like it!!!
ReplyDeleteThat parade looks quirky and amazing.
ReplyDeleteSomeday I'm going to see New England in its full glory. For now I think that Autumn is a 10 second interlude between 100 degrees and 6 feet of snow.
I have to try incredibly hard to get a shot like your last one. My iphone doesn't take good pictures! Okay, maybe it is a user error...
ReplyDeleteHave I already asked where in NE you are from?
I'm from New Hampshire.
DeleteI always thought my iphone didn't take good pictures, but the more I used it the better I got at it.
Aw, so sweet! Great pictures!
ReplyDeletelooks like fun!!
