We opted to avoid I-94 on our trip west from Milwaukee to Delafield on an errand this afternoon. Instead we drove county highways and frontage roads, one of which took us past Crites Field, the Waukesha County airport.  And just look what we got to see along the way!

This plane is not in trouble, which was my initial (horrified) thought.  My husband and I had stumbled across the Wings Over Waukesha Airshow by accident.  Scores of people were gathered in parking lots and fields around the airport to view the aerobatics.  If only we had known about this event in advance: attendees had an opportunity to ride in a World War II B-17 bomber.

Oh, well.  Discovering it as we did was still a delightful surprise.

Then home again in time to take the younger daughter shopping for school supplies.  When I finally finished up my errands with a trip to the grocery store, I was treated to this striking sunset.  All in all, quite a fine day, I think.  So now, good night 🙂
