Good Times at End of Summer

Summer winding down generally means several things--cooler temperatures, rain, the blessed disappearance of mosquitoes, the Fair, and blueberry picking!

I found my neighbors' animals easily. Her youngest daughter is a 4H superstar and future vet! She showed goats, pigs, and rabbits! This is Nefertiti, who helped her young mistress win Champion Showman for Dairy Goat:

She is a sweetie and charmed a headrub out of every passerby.

This is Turbo. He won Class Champion for Companion Goats. I had no idea that companion goats were a thing. I like it!


A Very Personable Goat:


A goat with beagle ears:


Another Very Personable Goat:


A very pretty ram:


Do not pet rams!


Little Meadow and her beloved lamb. AWWWWwwwwww...


I mean, dayum! My birth control almost rebelled looking at these two...


The winningest cabbage was 58.4 pounds!


The cabbage contestants:


And it was a lovely day at the Fair!


We got awesome blueberries, too, but I'm tired. Will post the berry picking photos later!

Glad to see the "cut" got cut and spread into 3 years. However, Confucius said it and all Chinese know this -- those who don't think into (concerned about) future often get into trouble in the present. Another one not by Confusius, is the lost-horse story, what looking bad today might not be bad in the long-run, what looking good today might not be good in the long-run. Always please remember this old philosophy in good times and bad times.
