Another Fair Day.

7-29-13 VERMONT: We came back up Saturday. Bill and Lynn joined us for a short visit that evening. They had a bit of trouble finding us, GPS can take you astray, and cell service is spotty at best. We ultimately had a nice dinner at Elixir in White River Junction.

The next day we went to the fair in North Haverhill, NH. It’s a bigger deal than last week’s fair. We saw cows, goats being judged, sheep, pigs, chicks, ducklings and a horse pull. In the pull teams of two horses try to pull a sled loaded with big cement blocks. After each round, more weight is added to the sled until only the championship team remains. We only stayed for a couple of teams. Neither the horses nor the drivers seemed to be having any fun.

We also saw a show called ‘Horses, Horses, Horses’. The trainer rode a large horse with many gaits and tricks and showed a bunch of miniature horses that also did tricks and took bows.

Needless to add, much fair food was consumed, but no one dared the rides.

New blooms: lilies, more phlox.


Handsome cow.
