    Today is the first day of the Fall Fair. Last night I dropped off some of my blooms, veggies, and photos and had no idea what to expect as there was a lot of competition this year. Today I discovered that I did quite well...
    5 - 1st place ribbons! My Brussels Sprouts, African Violet, Nicotiana, Large Zinnia's, and An Arrangement in a sneaker all took red ribbons.

    6 - 2nd place ribbons! My Leeks, Apples, Beefsteak Tomatoes, Zucchini, Small Zinnia's and my Arrangement in a Hat all got blue Ribbons.

    4 - 3rd place ribbons! My Cherry Tomatoes, Dahlia, Dahlia photo, and an all white arrangement took 3rd place.

    Yippee!

    I did manage to take a few pictures Sharon, but I seem to be having trouble with Photobucket today.

    My daughter also won with the 2 photos she entered. A photo of our dog Boomer won 1st prize and our neighbors horse won a 3rd :)
