Bug eyed!

Looking through a bunch of photos & this one caught my eye! Hope you had a great weekend.

They're back!

Looked out the window this morning & caught a glimpse of a flock of young turkeys ( think they are called Jakes) walking around in the field behind the barn.....They will be around now looking for food --the neighbors put out bird seed for them!

A Beautiful Sunset

Last night I was up at the fairgrounds to do more paperwork, getting ready to mail out premium checks--everything is done except for printing 600+ checks, totalling just over $50,000! Took along my camera so I could capture the sunset....our house is surrounded by trees, so I never see the sunset from here...... The mountain isn the distance is Mohawk Mountain--we live at the base--the street we live on is one of the entrances to the State Park.

Enjoy! It's raining right now, but that's ok--we really need it!

At the Fair

Love the pigs! We had a full barn for the pig show. The Cooking Channel contacted us the week before the fair & said a crew would like to come & film our swine show & talk to the participants! They have a show called " Foodology" and they are doing one on pork--I guess the producer is originallfrom the area so they thought of us. The show will be on in about 6 months--don't even get the channel on my cable!
Sow and litter--this is one of the most popular exhibits at the fair--these babies were about 2 weeks old!

Our sheep dept. is declining every year there are fewer! Love the faces on them!

I love the mop on this one!

Just picked!

Walked down to get the mail this afternoon & stopped to look at the raspberry canes......was surprised at how many ripe berries there were! So of course I picked & ate & shared with Rafe!

In the Garden.....

Was outside looking at flowers over the weekend & spotted this little frog sitting near the black eyed susans. What a great macro subject!

Photo Winners

This is the fox photo that came in 2nd in Favorite of the show--people that came to the Fair voted for their favorite! Had quite a few people come up to me and make comments about it--all positive--even a few asked for copies!

These next 2 are the ones that actually won ribbons ( 3rd place). Earlier this year I went to Alan's business to take photos of their Kohler products to sendto them & took a few pictures while I was there--it's like it is frozen in time--maybe the 50's

And this is Squeak--the cat that disappeared in July--love this photo of him
