The Arrival of Hurricane Ian

Watercolor by Leia

 While the original pen and ink resembled Harvest, the coloring of the completed watercolor painting was a completely different young man. What an amazing watercolor piece!

Mountain State Fair 2022

 This year there was a new ride called Doctor Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. And Annie and I rode it together! There was also a lot of fun on the swings and with daddy getting his famous fair fries. The good thing about this year is that COVID didn't close the fair, the sad thing about this year is that the pig racing with the traditional Yelling of "MOUNTAIN STATE FAIR" was replaced by a different company. Was the end of an era. ...  And we couldn't help wondering if the people who used to do pig racing died from COVID.
