There was indeed a time when we didn't have snow.

My entries to the Fair last summer - they both got honorable mentions. I'd long wanted to get some sort of ribbon at the Fair, and I was so incredibly happy to get these last summer.

Both of my parents entered items into the Fair's judging along with me. My mother entered some seedless blackberry jam. This is a picture of the actual judging of her very jam. She won a fist prize blue ribbon! Unfortunately, my dad's honey was deemed to watery. We didn't know that could even happen. However he has vowed to try again this summer, should summer time ever come again.
