We went to the JoDavies county fair this weekend

...very small town America

We showed up in our fancy car and I think the guy charged us more

hee hee

But it was worth it

It did our hearts good to see the families

enjoying the hot summer day

the kids running around....free, like they used to

happy and eating hot dogs and chasing each other 

Good to see the demolition derby...haven't seen one of those since I was a kid

and that's a long time ago

The people were so friendly

and happy

nothing fancy, just good summer fun

good summer corn on the cob

good cold beer

good baked goods

and of course the animals

My battery went caputskied before we hit the cows

but they were divine

every cow had a fan blowing on them

When we got to a building that said Hares...uh

I almost didn't go in...I have a childhood trauma

regarding rabbits in cages..but my husband got me to go inside

and I am sort of glad I did

they were all well taken care of, plenty of room, water and their fur

was gorgeous...unlike the memory I hold tightly bound in me

Cages with wire bottoms yes, but they seemed content

I asked the man in charge if this wire bothers their feet

he said most no, but one type yes, and they place wood boards in the cage for them

I wanted to take them all home...cows, ducks, roosters,sheep,horses

I guess I never grew up concerning animals

I want them all cared for and loved....

ha....but the farmers were all good to me and my attitude

I think inside they felt the same way

but life isn't that way and can't be

but it was good to see these animals well cared for

It was a wonderful weekend
