Listening For The Sound Of Music On The HOT Tandy Hills

In the picture you are looking north on the Tandy Hills, about 4 hours before the hills come alive with the sound of music.

And people.

But, the hills were people free, except for me, in the noon time frame today.

Prairie Fest x3 Part 3 starts up in about an hour.

I am currently not in a very festive mood.

I talked to my mom this morning. My mom tasked me with the task of calling a cousin I've not seen in decades. I don't like making cold calls.

Elsie Hotpepper may or may not go see The General tonight at Movie Night on the Prairie. I am experiencing Elsie Hotpepper type ambivalence on The General viewing too.

The hill hiking was highly humid today. The temperature was in the upper 80s, but felt way HOTTER due to that vexing humidity problem.

I know today's Prairie Fest event is solar powered, including solar powering the movie projector. What I don't know is if there is solar powered air-conditioning. I suppose one could consider wind to be solar powered air-conditioning. I know the wind blowing on the hills today had a pleasant cooling effect at times.

Tonight Is Movie Night On The Prairie At Prairie Fest x3 Part 3

Sometime this coming summer the Trinity River Vision Boondoggle will see the first new drive-in movie theater open in America in decades.

If you can not wait til summer to watch a movie under the stars head to the Tandy Hills Natural Area, today, to Prairie Fest x3 Part 3, where tonight is Movie Night on the Prairie.

The movie tonight on the Tandy Hills is the Buster Keaton classic, The General, a movie Orson Welles considered possibly the best movie ever made.

I don't know if Orson Welles verbalized this opinion before or after he filmed Citizen Kane.

• Movie start time is approximately 8:45 pm.
• Seating is on the grass in front of the stage.
• Food & Beverage by Chadra Mezza & Grill, Good Karma Kitchen and The Wiener Man.
• Nature Hikes and Live Music from 4 - 8 pm at Prairie Fest x3.

See you tonight at the movies!

The Windy Final Saturday Of April Is Part 2 Of Prairie Fest x3

Looking out my primary viewing portal on the outer world on this final Saturday of April you can not see how windy it is or feel how hot it is.

Well, I can tell you it is a bit breezy and 68 degrees.

Part 2 of Prairie Fest x3 starts up later today, with music and wildflower tours starting at 4 pm.

I hope it is not too windy for the Prairie Fest x3 kite fliers and prairie painters today.

I think I may go to the Tandy Hills before 4 today and do me some windy hill hiking.

But, before I do that I think I will go do some windy swimming and have fun dodging the whitecaps rolling across the pool.
