As promised, more Fair memories. It was heart breaking to see the lack of exhibits this year. When Homemaker Clubs were active in this area there were a lot of baking, canning, sewing, etc. exhibits. I do remember, back in the day, that many times exhibits were gathered at residences or businesses and members of clubs or businesses volunteered to take them to Glasgow. Then we had the livestock exhibitors that exhibited dairy cattle, bulls, probably heifers, and no doubt many open class exhibits of hogs and sheep. The Farmer was not left out...

The garden keeps on growing: it’s relentless as long as it has water and the temps stay above freezing. And even when the first frosts hit, I’ll blanket the plants I wish to save. Those plants always include the tomatoes and peppers. Sometimes the cucumbers gets preferential treatment, as will some squashes. I try to put chairs out amongst those squashes and cukes to hold the coverings up enough to keep the cold from traveling through to the leaves that are in contact with the covering. I’ll lay the tomato cages over and have stakes pound...
Vacuuming sucks. Ba-dum tss. Now that I’ve cleared that obligatory dad joke hurdle, let’s talk about robot vacuums and the recent shift in power when it comes to their production.
