Week 18 Update And a Trip to the County Fair

This past Saturday Brian, my parents and I headed to the Ozaukee County Fair for our fill of fried food and animals. Mom and I managed to avoid the fried food, opting for baked potatoes and fresh ice cream. Then it was off to see the sweet farm animals!

Sleeping Ducks

 This chicken was only $10, but Brian wouldn't let me bring it home.

There was a bunny to pet.

Snuggled up pigs

700 pound pigs!

Scared baby cow

Brian and I bought this book for our future kid. We want them to love farms as much as we do.

The John Deere station had tons of clothes, toys and books. If only we knew what we were having, we'd have totally gotten into the onesies. They were adorable.

18 weeks. Definite bump. Also, those pants don't really fit anymore.

18 weeks on the garden. 

The squash plants you see overrunning everything are winter squash- butternut and acorn. So far, no signs of female flowers. Considering how long it would take for fruit to set and grow, especially with the cool weather we're having, I'm tempted to pull them this week and find a fall crop of veggies to put in. Definitely kale, maybe something else as well. The same with my bell peppers. They're just flowering this week and we're supposed to get down into the 50's at night for a week or so. Way too cold for peppers. So the bell peppers and squash plants are not long for this world. I know I said that last week, but this week, I mean it!
