Memories of Fair

It's Summer
It's nearing the end of July
Fair Time
This was always the time of year when I weighed the least and had my best tan,
the time when I slept the least but smiled the most.
The hours spent each year in preparation
The grooming of the goats
The fattening of the broilers
The choicest of the breeds
The kids gave their all,
I gave my all,
The animals gave their all
Who could have asked for anything more


 
 




This kid was just too darned cute!

Great pictures and memories. Are you going to enter anything in a fair there?

Fair is over here - and not the same thing at all. I will just cherish my memories. Did you find yourself in one of the photos?
