FAIR!!!!
Today I awoke so flippy excited! FINALLY! The last day of the fair...not a moment to spare! I'm going to go get the dirties on the birdies! I made the decision this AM (I told you it borders on obsession) that my first chickens will be egg layers. I will not be purchasing any today, no. Today will be a sensory immersion in some fowl things!
I will begin by plunking my $ down at that all familiar dusty fair entrance, then proceeding directly to the Poulet Pavillion. Once there I will gaze upon those lovelies that have captured my imagination for so long. Images of healthy brown eggs (pasturized on real earth are lower in cholesterol - HA!), ruffles of farm feathers swishing like ball gowns, and the gentle cluck cluck cluck. I will locate the Sussex County Poultry Fanciers and throw my heart at them "Take thee and do what you wish" - Teach me all the fowl knowledge you have! Camera in hand. Will I get to hold a lovely? Words cannot express my excitement!
I do not dare a cup of coffee today - I may explode with the vibrations of a new venture!
After I have exhausted the livestock, for I wish to see goats (one day o yes one day), Pigglys (minature I think), Rabbits (stew!), and perhaps a mule (something legend to be more stubborn than myself), I will continue to the HOME EC area...Vegetables, Canning, and Quilts OH MY!
Today I am a humble servant of the livestock & farm realm! As they said in the Goonies..."It all starts here!"
