It was the usual fair scene, rides and games that we avoided, but we saw border collie sheep herding trials, horse pulls, tractor pulls, 4-H Club cow judging, piglets, a Garth Brooks imitator, a few minutes of a magician. We all got our favorite foods. I had a bloomin’ onion and Judy got pulled pork, we both shared. I will need another bloomin’ onion next August.
Yesterday I pulled out the rest of the old, white phlox, all covered with mildew from the flowerbed below the deck. We had gone to Brown’s Nursery after the dump for replacement stock, which I planted after the phlox were pulled out and replanted on the pond banks.
I added two hardy hibiscus, ‘Airbrush Effect’ and ‘Cherry Choco Latte’, two echinacea, ‘Sombrero Salsa Red’, and two Shasta daisies, Leucanthemum maximum ‘Alaska’. I added one new phlox to the phlox bed, Phlox paniculata, ‘Peppermint Twist’. The new phlox plants get almost no mildew.
The mid-way and rides, no customers from our group.
Border Collie trials. The dogs were all pros.
Antique tractor pulls.
Horse pulls.
These horses are running away with this load of almost two tons of blocks on the stone boat.
