    I LOVE that ride! And the fair is the only place I eat and like cotton candy or corn dogs. :)

    Great pictures...haven't been to a state fair in a long time. Your daughter must have a big heart and strong stomach to hug those stinky cows.

    Cows rule. Seriously. Patient, kind, beautiful eyes, nonjudgmental. And make good burgers.

    Missed you at the fair, almost threw up just watching people on that very ride, luckily Finn was just an inch shy of the requisite height. Chickens were awesome weren't they? We've been inspired to get some replacement birds this week.

    It's so weird that you and my best friend since age 8 were at the same fair this weekend! Strange? It's a small world after all...

Your fairy is called Columbine Icedancer
She is a bone chilling bringer of justice for the vulnerable.
She lives in mushroom fields and quiet meadows.
She is only seen when the bees swarm and the crickets chirrup.
She wears lilac and purple like columbine flowers. She has icy blue butterfly wings.
