  1. Another year, another #GenCant for me. I wish our county fair and #GenCon was not on the same weekend. I would just like the option to go sometime. However, I would never shirk my volunteering to help out for #4H and my kid's experience.

    I will try to post pictures again this year. I hope the weather is more pleasant than today's. (101 F, high humidity) 😓

  2. 🎵One of these things is not like the others
    One of these things doesn't belong
    Can you tell which thing is not like the other
    By the time we finish our song?🎵

    They knew not to use fresh pineapple — the Jell-O won’t set because of the bromelain — but olives!? Perhaps this salad is intended for Mediterranean goats.

  3. My timeline is full of people getting set for hacker summer camp & I'm in a giant barn at the local 4-H fair.

  4. Years ago I wrote about the values in the 4H Pledge biketoworkbarb.blogspot.com/20. Ever since then when I find a good pledge I drop it in the comments on that post. The poems make suitable reading for the Fourth of July, especially in these times. These aren't unthinking patriotism--they pledge to things like the soil in a garden and Janet Wong's "acceptance / of the views, / so different, /
    that make us America."

  5. Years ago I wrote a small proposal about what we might pledge ourselves to that fits These Days. I've been adding links to relevant poems in the comments every so often. Have any reading on this general theme that you like?

  6. 4-H is a U.S. government run club that teaches kids about agriculture and farming. It's always been based in science and that continues to expand to other areas like computers and chemistry.

    I hate to say it out loud - 4-H has somehow kept it's DEI programs so far. Years ago, it provided me a chance to meet people of varying cultures and expand my understanding.

    Today is a national fundraising day - consider giving a dollar or two while we still can.

  7. How far do you think you have to spit a watermelon 🍉 seed to get 5th place at the Indiana State Fair?
    :blobcatthink:

    Full Disclosure: Top 4 spots were 4-H kids that basically lived there. 😅

  8. Ok, here goes nothing. First, pick up an elderly neighbor's newspaper. Walk the puppy then paint the beautiful shelf a friend built for our 4H club to take to the fair. If I have any energy left I will doublecheck the fair tubs and move them to the garage. Then make mints. I am tired of just typing this. The first batch of homemade lemonade is made. #Artistlife #4Hfair #4H #fair #countryfair #NJfair

  9. An older post of mine suggesting an alternative to the Pledge of Allegiance biketoworkbarb.blogspot.com/20. I keep finding and adding poems on various types of pledges in the comments--have any good ones I've missed?

  10. I remembered somebody who tried to help me growing up: Cheryl, the 4H lady.
    She took an interest in me. She supported me, and did what she could to get me involved and out of the house.

    Each year, she would give my sister & I seeds and starts to plant a garden, and in exchange, we’d get scholarships to 4H Summer Camp. That one week a year, away at camp, was my one chance to try on a version of being my “real” self. You could truly say I “camped it up”.

    I lived for it.

    Anyway, I want to say THANK YOU to Cheryl the #4H Lady. She was an adult who cared about me.
