There are chances of thunderstorms today and you can see them coming across the lake easier than where there are trees and houses in the way. This storm looks like there is a funnel cloud forming so might be a nasty storm.

The local county fair winds down for the year today, but there are still mini donuts, cotton candy, and corn dogs to eat and a few carnival rides to go on before the carnival moves on to the next county fair.

This goat was busy trying to get attention so someone would pet her, but she had to sneak in a snack every once in a while too.

At my local fair, the livestock judging for beef is on Friday, like this Hereford class. According to history, Benjamin Tomkins was an early founder of the breed with a bull and two cows called Pidgeon and Mottle in 1742 around the area of Herefordshire, England. Herefords were imported to the United States about 1817 by the politician Henry Clay.

The storm this evening had a lot of lightning and the sky flashed white during a strike inside the cloud but my pond caught the reflection.

I have only been seeing one turkey wandering around in my yard lately and so far I haven’t seen a hen with babies, so my one turkey better get eating my wood ticks as there has been too many ticks this season. Under the right conditions, an adult turkey can eat 200 or more ticks in a day, but my turkey must be lazy as the tick population doesn’t seem to be declining this season.

As county fairs are happening around the state this month, the critters get to do some people watching as fair attendees pass by the livestock pens.
