A Fair Day.

7-22-13 VERMONT: Yesterday may have been the prettiest day of July, at least so far. It was dry, not hot, sunny and not sticky. Val and Steve picked up Lucy at the end of her camp session.

We all went to the fair in Bradford, VT. It’s small-to-medium sized fair, and we got there in time for the monster truck rally. The trucks are raced through bumps and mud, creating storms of dirt, water, steam, exhaust accompanied by roars and snarls. The monsters are regular SUV bodies mounted on giant tires and suspensions.

After that some of us did outrageous rides, and some of us ate boomin’ onions and pulled pork, others had cotton candy and maple sugar candy. Games were played, and everyone had enough after three hours.

Today I weeded and weed-whacked the terrace.

New blooms: Shasta daisy, helenium, red lobelia.


Part of the hybrid daylily bed with reds, whites, pinks, purples, yellows and more.

On a different note, also colorful.....

Smoke, exhaust, mud, water, dust and lots of noise.

The midway.

Does this look like fun???
