Every year the state fair happens and every year I work hard to go at least one day.

We may not all understand what it takes to farm crops or raise animals but the presenters sure have shown excellence. Here is the second place for farm display.

Then there were the pig races

Yes there are rides and monster trucks with tons of music but families get up at the crack of dawn to make sure that we are feed meat, dairy, grain, fruit and vegetables. They do all the hard work and we just cook it up or eat it. This was how America came to be everyone farming and raising animals. You couldn’t survive unless you had. So for those of us who have stayed in the city pushing papers they are out there sustaining our lifestyles.

My thanks to all farmers and all the families they care for.

I don’t need to dress like woman to prove I am a man.

I don’t need to dress like a man to prove I am woman.

I dress how I feel and how I want to prove who I am.

Some say it was a cruel summer,

Some say it was a long hot summer

Others say it was a summer

When the west side is starting to feel like the east side of the mountains ⛰️ I feel it was a long hot summer.

Weddings occurred

Unless you were in air conditioning you sweated in your attire.

Hiked through a burnt forest.

Little grasses were trying to grow.

But the food was up $100 for a pound of king crab legs?

I remember these prices

What the heck has happened I really have become one of those people or is inflation that bad

All I have to say is

There was once a person who created a palace so grand that his people rebelled but there was only imaginary cake to eat.

So where am I going with this

Summer is two weeks from being over in the school world

Did time fly or was it one long hot summer for you too?

Having saw beautiful sunsets this week

My phone definitely made the Sun the star

Regardless of how many times we see it we are still amazed and want to see it again.

The same is with snow falling

Wind rustling the trees and grass

Rain in the light or its sound on a roof

Nature is not one to be messed with

It is the longest running show there is

How many Oscar’s have you given it?
