Beckle Speckle’s Zany World

Work and Bug have been keeping me really busy this past week.  Also, we went to the fair this weekend and just drove back this morning.  I’m going to try to post some more this coming week, but they will likely be short posts, including the “stash” picture for SP11 (Hi Pal!).  Now for some fun.

Bug enjoyed the fair – seeing the animals (here baby chicks),

and big pumpkins (largest was a meager 105 pounds, we’ve seen >250 some years),

and sitting on the big tractors,

and some of the crafts.

There are lots of crafty things at this fair (the Brown County, Ohio Fair).  I’ll post some more general pictures – maybe try a collage later.  Here are some of the unusual sightings…

a hot dog cake…

a ladybug pumpkin…

a scarecrow with straw hair that any goth kid would kill for … (my dad is in the middle there)

and a mutant, multi-headed sunflower.

I got some knitting done in the car as we traveled.

Progress on the DNA scarf… love the yarn!

Progress on the first sock of pair #2 (mine).  I think I like the length of the cuff, so only the bind-off remains.

I wish there were a few more hours in the day… If only I didn’t need sleep.
