Dog days of summer

I've been feeling slightly off the rocker lately with all the stuff going on here in O-Hi-O. This coming week is the Butler County Fair. There is so much excitement built up from waiting for this for a year, I'm about to explode. There is honey judging, and livestock judging. You have no idea. I hope to the good lord there is no deep fried butter available in the fair food stands. Dear lord.

At home, things have been crazy too. I think I told people about this, but two weekends ago, Paul and I showed up to the Berry Patch thinking that I'd get my fill of blueberries for the year. The place opened at 9a.m., and after getting lost for half an hour, Paul and I showed up at 10, only to find out they were SOLD OUT FOR THE DAY. How does that happen?! How?! I think I took that too personally because I then became determined to find blueberries. I did, at Rousters, where I then proceeded to pick 25 POUNDS OF BLUEBERRIES (edit: and PTB, the best ever).

Pictured above, half a bag out of 4 full bags.

And my god, what wonderful blueberries they were!

All plump. And Juicy. And delicious. I had blue poop for days. TMI??

Take that Berry Patch. That is what you get for not letting me pick your berries. You lose my crazed customership. So, now, not only do I have over a gallon of blueberries in the freezer, I also have over 30 jars of various blueberry preserves.

Raspberry season is right around the corner. Heh. Heh.

Aside from that, I've also taken on a few projects over the last few weeks. I made a blue knitted pig. Why blue? Well, WHY NOT BLUE? >.<

He's so cute :3

I don't know what I want to do with him though... maybe send it off to a poor unsuspecting fool off the internet??

I *think* I'm just about ready to tackle the crazy royal corgi but that means a trip to the yarn store. Yay! Never mind the two overflowing boxes of yarn I acquire within the last two weeks... thanks Lolli for fueling my budding yarn addiction!! Yay!!

Bought 3 giant bags of linen-grade t-shirts to make a rug with.. I mean, I did make a rug with it... and a pretty rug she is!

She sits in front of the kitchen sink after a big argument with the poops about how it's not their bed. Hehe, next project? I still have a 2-foot pile of old t-shirts that need to be converted into yarn for various projects so perhaps a pooper bed would be a good use. :)

Also, a great thing happened this week. Tank discovered the ramen box. Now, before people get all shocked about me buying ramen, I'd like to preface that I paid 13 cents for the entire box. Just wanted to point that out. Anyway....

!!!! How great is that photo?!?!?!?! Ramen puppy!!!

To end, we bought 12 pounds of popcorn.

Thanks Amazon Prime!
