County Fair

Experimenting with Photobucket's slideshow feature here - if it works this is a lot easier for me than editing code on all the individual photo thumbnails.

This week was the Polk County fair, and Allie showed a lamb. Layla hung out with us for awhile Friday night and Saturday morning.

Hmm, embedding isn't working, so here's a link:

August photos

I've got a few days off between summer and fall semesters, and since that seems to be the only time I manage to process a few photos and read blogs, here we go!

Home:

Allie and her friends at their back-to-school sleepover


Treasure hunt!


The girls' early-morning t.p. exploits / Apple picking


Layla around the house


Layla wanted to prove she could fit into Truman's carrier!


Allie and her lamb / Layla and Mama avoiding the "rain"


Layla pretending to be a "baby deer" / Some actual young deer we saw later in the day



Signs:


Charmingly spelled signs at the produce stand on the corner


Hicks need churches too! / "1" changed to "3" for the rising gas prices



Landscape and naturey stuff:


Carolina anole (lizard), water lilies


Fallen muscadines, cypresses, golden silk orb weaver


French mulberries, swamp and wading bird, sunset over cotton fields


Zinnias, pecan tree, and cedar on a foggy morning


Spiderwebs in fog
