Lots of Peaches.....

  175 pounds of peaches,

Jars,

Lids,

Sticky, messy, work

 thanks to Mandy and Stephanie, another year of 4-H fundraiser peaches all canned and frozen.

The earth brought forth vegetation, plants yielding seed according to their own kinds, and trees bearing fruit in which is their seed, each according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.  Genesis 1:12

County Fair, One Last Time

The Big County Fair Weekend is over.  It was Alanna's last; her Beloved Leader is retiring and so is Alanna.

Well, they are retiring after they go to State Fair, that is.

4-H in Action

These handsome Dudes or Dudettes

(didn't wanna get personnel-they are BIG)

And the favorite exhibit of the small animal barn (and probably the whole fair)

THE DUCKEY WATER SLIDE

 Every now and then they would push 

one another or reach too far and down they'd go.

 They loved swimming around after they slid down,

 but I think they might have preferred and easier way to get there.

 When they were ready, they would waddle

 back up the ramp to dry off under their light.

He Made it!

The Graduation ceremony yesterday....

I have no idea where he is in there...

Introducing one of America's newest soldiers......

 (This is really, absolutely him!)

He called from the Atlanta Airport, today.  He is on his way to Fort Sam Houston for his Medic training.  We are so very proud of him!

WEEK 9-The End in Sight!

He's almost there!  
This is the last week of the contests, tests, and inspections......

This is the only positive ID this week.  He's fourth from the front.

Happy Birthday Mandy!

A very happy birthday to our beloved, funny, unique, and very CREATIVE first born!

               We love you till the cows come home (whatever that means)!

WEEK 8

  No positive ID's this time, but this is what he's been doing!

He also sent back his answers to David and Alanna's questions
