to the fair we go

i can't believe it's fair time again!  the robertson county fair is here and today was drop off day.  we have been so busy this summer that i had decided not to enter anything this year until this past week.  i take a lot of pictures during the year and can a lot of food.  i also love joining in a being a supporter of the fair.  so i decided to go through a year's worth of pictures and print some out.

we also grew the biggest watermelon that i have ever grown this year.  without the aid of fertilizers and all that jazz.  i was really not ready to pick it because the stem wasn't quite ready... but the size was.  it weighed in at 47 pounds and when we were at my grandaddy's today he insisted we measure it so he could brag to his friends.  it measured 23 1/2 inches long and 33 inches around.  big 'un in my book!

so, i will let you know how i come out.  i've been known to bring home a ribbon.  but every year i look at what other's bring in and their hard work... just like mine.  everyone deserves a ribbon. 

 it got a tad heavy!
