Fair, cloudy, and otherwise…

Being it was Friday , I got my walk in today… not an early start but got done by 8am.. At that point I figured I better go get the parts for the plant stand I want to build… I had ordered some trays for it and they are in so I needed the wood pieces and some brackets, conduit, and casters so I can move it when it is loaded… my collection of plant propagation projects is getting bigger so I need more hanging space that will move… Not sure why I am doing all this but hey, I am retired so why not… pictures to come when I get going on that project…

To get those parts I needed to take the trailer as the pieces were 10 ft. long some of them and I wanted to get a big bag of potting soil and some peat moss so taking the trailer made it easier… once I got it hooked up and headed out… I was hungry… had not stopped for breakfast yet so … braums is on the way… went on to Lowes , got my parts and back to put them in the spots where I could use them…  ON the way????

For some odd reason, cutting out pieces from the storage shed was easier than buying some? Saw this on the way home?

Once home, got things put away and back in for lunch… nothing much about that… spent the afternoon doing some more paperwork and things I needed to get caught up on then this evening we went to the county fair… Sherrie had entered another baby blanket but this one only garnered a 4th place where she won first last year… but this one was not multi-color and the judges didn’t seem to judge on difficulty but on appearance… of course I don’t know much anyway…

We had supper at the ladies cooking function (they raise money for ??? ) anyway home cooked meal with home made pies at cheap prices… we wanted the real chicken fried steaks but they were gone real quick so we opted for the hamburger steak with fixings and I got a bowl of ham and beans… After discussing world problems and such with some people I knew we toured around a bit and then left early and went to check out the Cimarron Cow Camp & Poetry Gathering on the fair grounds where there will be poetry and music tomorrow all day with chuck wagon cooking going on as well… while there I captured a few pictures before the people show up…

Amazing colors in the sunsets and my pictures do not do it justice…
