The Fair Is A Veritable Smorgasbord

This week we took a trip out to the New York State Fair in Syracuse.  Here are some highlights from the trip (mostly of the amazing food we consumed):

Started the day out with Hawaiian Shaved Ice.  When I would work at the state fair with 4-H I would live off these things.  The best on a hot day. 

Chocolate milk from the Rainbow Milk Bar.  Yum.

Welcome to the Pigeon Department.

There were over 100,000 people at the fair that day.  

Lastly we grabbed some fried dough on the way out, even if we had deep fried Oreos on the way in.   So much goodness.  

Great way to end the summer.

Double Morning Glory

I was over at my parents house and I spotted this double morning glory.  Just beautiful. 

Green Magazine

I was picking up my living room the other day and I realized that we needed a magazine rack.  They were just piling up between the couch and the end table.  Not so good.  So I promptly began opening closets and cabinets to find something that would fill this void in our life.

I found this box.  It seemed like it would work.  

I used a box cutter to cut the box into a "L" shape, than covered it with newspaper.
Perfect fit for the magazines! The last thing I did was take the old stack of magazines and exchanged them for a brand new stack.  The library near me has a free magazine exchange.  Great, free, green way to get new reading material.  Two recycled projects in one!

Happy Reading,
