'Twas a veritable whirlwind of shows and cleaning the barn and critters and friends and ribbons!

Fair Snapshots

Those Mountains Though
This is my happy place during Fair week. It is just outside the Rabbit and Poultry Barn, which is where we spent the bulk of our time. Who would have thought that the Gaga pit could be a mama's happy place?!
When the Blossoms want to hang out with friends, I park myself on this bench, put up my feet and just breathe.
The memories they make here in the Gaga pit are some of our most favorite Fair memories.
It's proof that we mamas can snatch restful moments right in the center of it all.

Little Bit 'O Animal Love
When I say, "This place is a zoo!" I mean it most affectionately! I'm always stepping around animals or petting something the girls have brought in. The critters keep life interesting. They do add a level of stress too; I can't deny that. However, we do enjoy having animals.
This hen, Anita, recently hatched her own little chick under the back deck. It's positively delightful to see her teaching "Astrid" how to be a chicken. She catches bugs and lets her little chick eat them out of her mouth. Let me tell you, that was fun having mason jars of collected bugs sitting on the kitchen counter.

Homey Things
Remember when God sent me flowers? Blossom3 suggested we go down to the creek and check on how they're doing since we planted them. I haven't been down there to water them in about a month and half. They seem like they're thriving to me! I know it's hard to tell what's what in the picture below. Their leaves are elongated. I promise to share more updates in the spring that are a bit clearer.
