More Fair Treats

Lots of Fun

We had lots of fun this summer, but getting up at 5:00 am to go to the Dane County Farmer's Market wasn't one of them for my guests. Coffee helped.

Meals on the porch are a joy second only to fresh vegies from the garden.

Still tie-dying after all these years

Nora talked me into doing another tie-dye project this summer.

Gram Enjoys 4 Generation Visits

My mom really enjoyed having more visitors. She seemed to know they were people that she knew and liked and her eyes twinkled when Michael teased her.

Wisconsin Dells Boat Tour

Daniel and I enjoyed a day on the river on one of the hottest muggiest days of the summer. It brought back lots of memories from trips past. Now a dog jumps to table rock instead of a person, but the river and rocks look the same thanks to preservation efforts. I apologize for some of the pictures in the next few days they were taken with my phone.

Hobby Lobby brings Brett Back to Vikes

No sooner did Michael put on a Viking Santa hat in Hobby Lobby than Brett magically appears in the Minnesota Viking training camp. Now all I have to do is get him back there before Saturday's lottery drawing. It's always a tough sell believe me, especially if I want him to use a coupon for me.

Yard Work

Russ and I spent half a day cleaning up the yard concentrating on trimming shrubs. This looks like a lot of foliage but we have another half day of work left to do. It's amazing how much time it takes just to keep a large yard up to date. I'm in the process of taking things out of my garden. Last week I pulled out half of my cucumber plants. I have enough pickles and just need some to eat fresh. This morning I pulled out all of the small tomato plants. I've eaten enough fresh and I have enough sauce canned and am currently giving tomatoes away as fast as I can. I still have two tomato plants left and both are producing more than enough for me to eat fresh with some to give away. It's hard to believe that summer is winding down.
