Butterfly days...

OK, I'm no expert and someone is sure to tell me these are really moths, but I don't care.
On a beautiful afternoon this week, I was delighted to find many of these gorgeous butterflies having a terrific time on the mint plants my daughter has planted.
I know, you're not supposed to plant mint, but we love it. So there.
And so did these wonderful creatures.
I've snapped quite a few photos with my iPhone, and here are a few I hope you enjoy.
August is flying along, autumn may be here soon (I can't wait).
But on this afternoon, I was thrilled by the presence of this beauty.

Still time to visit the 4-H Fair!!

It's Saturday morning, and today is the final day for this year's Montgomery County 4-H Fair, on Route 113 in Skippack.
But there's still plenty of time today to check out the animals -- including cows, pigs, sheep, goats, rabbits, guinea pigs and much more -- plus the multitude of other 4-H projects, fair games, food and fun.

Here's one of the cows at the fair, caught napping on Friday afternoon. This is a Brown Swiss ... head to the fair and see how many other breeds you can identify!

You also can check out the fowl tent -- fowl as in chickens, ducks, etc. -- where kids can play some games and everyone can vote for their favorite birds! Here are a few I voted for...

This is a turkey shown above ... and yes, it really DOES have a head...

And above you see a really sweet goose!

Of course there is plenty of food to be found. Be sure to check out the ice cream being sold by the Montgomery County 4-H Dairy Club. My coffee ice cream on Friday was terrific!

And each summer I treat myself to one funnel cake splurge...
Yes, I pigged out at the 4-H Fair ... but it was worth it!

So head over there today... support the kids and the 4-H program!!
