In the afternooon Sue was felling much better than she had for a number of days. She has been nursing 7up for almost a week. She is pretty sensitive to heat and its been more than a little warm... high in the mid 90's.
He latest drive is to get some potted plants indoors. This time of year the indoor selection of plants is minimal. Outdoor plants do not fare much diversity either. It is too late to plant Summer veggies and I think that the heat will take out most of everything that is normally associated with summer annuals. Petunias wilt and pansies don't have a chance. There are some pretty decent sales on succulents however.
We went to Orchard Supply since their stock of plants usually holds up the best. We have a lot of nice house plants now.
In the mean time we took a run through Target, Orchard and Home Depot. Then Sue said," I wouldn't mind going to the Fair if we didn't have to stay too long.."
No problem for me. So off to the Fair we went. The Temptations were starring.. but we didn't have the time to sit down and listen. We took a run through the animals and sue petted a pig, and got a charge out of some lambs that were just born. they were kicking up their heels to celebrate the cool evening.
We walked through the ag display room and the art. We walked the commercial exhibits and had a tri tip and a pork sandwich at the bar be que booth. Sue had a ear of corn and some cappucinno gelato. I had a cup of lemon gelato that was to die for... probably the most authentic.. yum. Most gelatos even in Italy come from mixes.. I wished I had one made from my ripe white peaches.
As we were leaving a lady came up to Sue from the entrance and asked if her stuffed peach could go home with her. Sue as taken back at first but then proudly exited the fair with a stuffed peach.
A Great time overall..
