North Haverhill Fair.

7-28-25 VERMONT: They left yesterday, Emmett and his parents, in a car packed to the brim, while we started and finished the clean up. They were among the best guests we've ever had. Alison and Dan are due on Wednesday. 

Saturday we went to the North Haverhill Fair for a look at all the animals and a bit of Fair food, Bloomin’ Onion and pulled pork sandwich. We ate and watched the games and rides and saw heifers, oxen, sheep and goats, tractors, a horse pull and took a lot of pix.

In the garden we have fritillary butterflies and the first monarch of the season. The tiger swallowtails are still here.

There has only been 0.2 inches of rain in the past ten days.

New blooms: cone flower, cup plant, helenium.

Five fritillary butterflies on Cone flowers.
