Musings and occasional rants from a location in the pacific northwest, where the air is still sweet, the trees tall and old, and we can see the stars in a clear night sky. Is this paradise? No... it's Oregon.

Our State Fair is a Great State Fair!
(Tip of the hat to Sue Barrette on that....)
Bill and I went to the Oregon State Fair last night. We had great fun! We saw....
Goats in coats...
An angry rooster...
A black poodle chicken...
Huge horses! This Belgian's back was almost 7 feet above the ground!
The Oscar Meyer Weinermobile...
A mother pig who needs a shoe to live in (9 piglets!) ...
The midway, as dusk fell...
Food consumption this year was sedate: really yummy chicken teriyaki with yakisoba and veggies, a huge butterscotch sundae (shared), and cotton candy (duh). No deep-fried Twinkies this year, thanks.

I want to go!
(I love the poodle chicken...made me laugh out loud.)
I also liked the poodle chicken. But you probably already knew that.
I went to a baby shower yesterday at my friend Megan's and she has three chickens -- Big Red, Little Red, and Zelda. They were cool. They ate cheese out of our hands :) so I felt instantly bonded with them. (Sharp cheddar, if you wondered...)
