County Fair week..
Good evening..it's been a busy couple days here..yesterday the weather cooled off a bit..from mid 90's to low 80's so hubby and I decided it was a good day to go to the county fair. It also was overcast and even looked like we might get some rain and we had a nice breeze so figured it would be somewhat comfortable. We got there in early afternoon and started looking through the 4H barns and exhibit halls and then we went through the huge merchants expo hall that is air conditioned....and very cool!! We spent some time in there, then looked at a collection of antique tractors (or I should say Fred looked at the tractors) I took that opportunity to sit and rest for a few minutes. We headed to the show arena after that and watched some mule hitches..we also managed to get some good fair food for lunch and before heading home I had to have my favorite fair food...an elephant ear!! So yummy!!
Today, we hadn't made any definite plans except to get the laundry done..well around 1:00 and the laundry was about finished hubby said how about going back to the fair and see the draft horses and the mini horse show in the arena..so we got ourselves ready and headed back up to the fair..Had another great day and enjoyed some more fair food and wandered around more of the exhibits before heading home. Weather was good..warm but a nice breeze and overcast again..perfect fair weather.
Tomorrow we will be staying home and doing some work around the garden and yard. Fred has green beans ready to pick in the garden..so that means I will be making green beans and bacon for supper tomorrow night along with summer squash and maybe fried green tomatoes!! Our tomatoes are not ripening yet and our sweet corn isn't ready so I may be making a stop at a vegetable stand up the road to get some of both to go with our veggies.
Here is a photo of some of the fresh veggies Fred brought in yesterday...
