Another Fair Weather Day

 As I type this, it's a very pleasant 70 degrees and sunny, with a projected high of 82.  It is going to be another great day for the fair goers. 

Fair Weather

 The state fair started on Thursday, and for the past two days, the weather has been perfect for the fair.  As I type this the sun is shining and it looks like today will be another good day for fair goers.  This time of August, it's usually 187 degrees, but the past two days it was only in the low 80s, and they are calling for another low 80s day today. 

Crazy Daisies Update

 Yesterday, I had a booth at a local church's summer festival. I sure was glad the vendors were inside in the air conditioned gym instead of outside in the 96 degree heat. It was a good day - I sold more yesterday than I did at the spring craft bazaar, which made me very happy.  I am going to get back in Crazy Daisies production this week in preparation for fall festivals.

Something You Don't See Every Day

I went to the corner liquor store yesterday to get our Powerball tickets, and once again as I was pulling out of the drive thru, there in the big garbage can was what seemed to be an empty half gallon ice cream carton. The flavor on the carton said strawberry.   

Where Did The Summer Go?

 It's hard to believe that Jefferson County schools are back in session tomorrow.  With the snow days they had to make up, it seems like the kids only had two months of summer vacation.  This summer has flown by fast.  I wish it would fly back faster to give us some cool fall weather.
