weekend shots

it technically still feels like the weekend.  it's monday morning and i'm still at home.  in an hour i will be at the mercy of a day of dove hunting next door.  i plan on making my first attempt at a sort of taxidermy today by mounting a pair of dove wings and a dove tail.  maybe two or three sets since we'll have plenty (hopefully!).  i can hear shots being fired as i type... only at the skeet shoot, the hunt opens at 12.

the weekend was filled with here and there and friends all around.  from the truck pulls at the robertson county fair to a labor day party on saturday night to relaxing on sunday to a good library book of horror and a barbra streisand movie.  i simply love her and suspect she never accepted a dull role.  to the shots...

gypsy, is what i am calling her, is so sweet.  still trying to find her home.

honky tonk heroes like us

well guys, the fair is over.  i wound up entering twenty photos and bringing home twelve ribbons!  shaun had a good run at the truck pulls.  he didn't bring home a trophy but he did bring home a truck that wasn't tore up.  that's a winner in my eyes... not having to fix anything.  there's just something about the truck pulls that just revs my engine!  I love it! 

 

I wasn't able to enter anything into the canning division or gardening divisions this year and I could tell from the lack of entries in the canning section that others had the same problems that we did.  oh there were still quite a few but not like normal.  even long time participants, one in particular, entered things like peaches and pears and canned mixed veggies.  meaning to me that they probably didn't have the garden produce either. darn the rain... we are usually praying for rain to hit the garden, not danging it for too much!  oh well... better luck next year huh.

the robertson county fair began yesterday, monday, august 26th.  this is the 146th annual fair in robertson county.  i adore entering items and usually have a lot more entries than i did this year.  I entered twenty of my photos.  ten black and white, ten color.  i normally have canned goods and walked to the booth, sadly, to see the beautiful jars.  in the past i have entered vegetables, handmade items, photos, baked goods and canned items.  i would love to enter flowers but have to work when those entires are accepted on monday.

 

thursday night is the street class truck pulls in which shaun is planning on pulling the sled with his '86 chevy.  he pulled in his dodge the first year we dated but hasn't pulled since.  it aught to be a blast.
