We were selected as the State Fair Farm Family from Saline County and were recognized at the State Fair in August. It was a blisteringly hot day and we had to call it a day before the awards were presented that evening. So, we staged a photo with the plaque. Of course, we had to move around to get the best corn in the photo.
Labor Day weekend also brought the annual dog plunge (before the pool gets drained for the season). We didn't go last year because it was so hot. It was much cooler this year, perhaps a little too cool for David and I, but Willow didn't mind. Friday had to stay home because he had just had a little "surgery". So Willow got undivided attention and a McDonalds cheeseburger on the way home.
Sirius Black and Harry Potter kept growing a LOT! Growing requires a lot of napping.
And they kept moving into others' territories. Princess Leia was not impressed with Harry's ability to share her cat house. Another cat house was purchased as we know that Harry is just going to get bigger and will need more space.
He also very much likes Cici's window seat. I think it's big enough for the both of them, but sometimes Cici doesn't agree.
Willow never seems to mind sharing her space though.
We experienced the Great Dishwasher Flood of 2025 just before Labor Day. A hose broke in the middle of the night (when David had set the dishwasher to run) resulting in a lot of water on the kitchen floor and a literal flood in the basement. Over a truck load of stuff was disposed of. Most of my basket supplies had gotten wet. If it hadn't been 4 am, it would have been a great time to weave as everything was wet and pliable. After days of drying stuff out, I did some sorting and storing and realized just how much basket stuff I had. I've given myself a year to weave some baskets and then I will reevaluate and decide whether it's time to get rid of stuff. So expect some basket photos in future blog posts!
Off to weave!
