We both are winners, this year at the Minnesota State Fair. Kim may have won more ribbons then I have, (total of 18, from 1st to 5th) however, I have the best Nuts at the State. Best, Honey Baked Spicy BBQ Nuts. Next week I will add the list in items that won, as some of the entries receive additional ribbons, throughout the Fair.

Minnesota State Fair Entry Day

The last fair is here!! The Minnesota State Fair, starts this week, August 25th. But before the gates open, our kitchen has been going non stop, for the last three days. The floor is sticky, the oven is having a melt down and the house is covered with a fine dusting of flower. I thought you might like to see what goes on, to make all those entries and what it looks like, on entrie day.

I thought I would, post a couple of my photo's that won at the Carver County Fair, this week. Thanks to those that sent, comments on what they liked, in some of the past post.

Hot and Hummid

Since, it has been so Hot and Humid, you just know, it is going to have a good crop of mushrooms in the yard. Kim found, these red mushrooms coming up. These mushrooms are only about one inch tall and they are everywhere this year. Now until the first frost, which can't get here soon enough, the mushrooms will be coming up. If you drive by, and you see Kim laying in the yard, it's okay. She's just found a mushroom.

August

I thought, I would post a few photo's that are close to being deleted, for some reason or another.
