No photo day.

Every year we do the same thing on Victoria Day weekend. Our Monday is devoted to helping the Prince Edward County 4H Sheep Club do a fundraiser at Bill Stearman's Willow Garden Farm Shearing Day and Lamb Romp. Every year I commit to taking lots of awesome pictures to commemorate the day. This year, it was even more important because Alison is the new web maintenance person for several county clubs, including this one. I wanted photos of the club members helping in the community, serving local farmers, having a great time ... living a 4H life.

And every year, I come home with one photo on my camera. This year, a photo of a visitor with the bottle baby. The same photo I took last year. And likely the year before.

I give up.

It's just far too busy. Fun too, but far too busy.

We had a great day, but the weather was overcast and cold and threatening to rain. And the wind! Bill would bring a fleece to the skirting table, throw it down and it would blow right off! A lot of the normal visitors must have checked out the weather forecast and chose not to come. I don't think the event will be a significant fundraiser this year.

Yet still a good time, and an educational time for the members. And we were incredibly blessed by Angel Gilbert, who has taken over the purchasing of groceries for the BBQ. She arranged gluten-free hamburgers for our troupe (including buns), plus safe condiments and even gluten-free donuts. It was SO appreciated that we could go, and eat without me arranging or making and having to take all of our own food. Thank you!
