Aww…some Monday – County Fair

This past week has been county fair week in our area. Our fair is not huge and the main event for me is found in the livestock building where the kids are showing off their animals. I was there the morning that goats were being judged. I think this is one advantage that country kids have over city kids. Raising an animal practically birth to show ready teaches a child a wealth of life skills. They learn to provide for another living being. The kids are responsible for feeding, watering, grooming, providing shelter, exercising and everything associated with caring for another. I find that far more valuable than X-Box or Travel ball world champion.

This was my pick as the prettiest goat at the fair.

Monday’s Music Moves Me

It’s a freedom of choice week at 4M, so I don’t have to base my selections on a specific theme. With that in mind, I’m going to feature a group that I have really enjoyed the past year or so and played a couple of their songs here before. Once more, I give you Red Clay Strays. Have a blessed week.
