Simple enough as a blog header… So how come I failed to make the connection that, today being Thursday, the first day of November, it is the First Thursday? I looked down the sidewalk and was a little surprised to see one of my neighbor merchants with their front door propped open.
The beautiful evening certainly invited letting the evening air inside, but what surprised me was the fact that the store was still open. Oh yeah, waaaay after the fact: Today is the late night for merchants in downtown Broken Arrow.
In the past, there have been carriage rides and astronomy club telescopes and sidewalk music. This evening there is none of that. It may be that I wasn’t the only one who failed to realize the first day of the month was also the first Thursday. I did see some musicians unloading equipment from the trunk of a car, but deduced it was jazz night at the Main Street Tavern.
I’m going to have to make some sort of calendar marking to help me remember, so I can plan some sort of special something.
In the meantime, I’ve been out on my sidewalk bench picking the guitar in between customers.
It IS a lovely evening to be outside!
