Blue ribbon small red dahlia Copyright © Phyllis Wheeler, 2014 |
"I'm blessed by my county fair awarding at least 12 of my flowers blue ribbons this year! The red dahlia above is one of my actual flowers entered in the fair, photographed two days after the judging occurred. In the interest of sharing good photos of pretty flowers the rest of the photos below are representative of what I entered but not the actual blooms entered.

What a fun blessing to have my Maryland garden recognized in such a way. If you're local the fair runs through Sunday and in addition to the flowers there are a lot of neat exhibits (bee keeping displays, chain saw carving, photography, 4H, animals, crafts, herbs, an 88 pound watermelon and more). May God bless all the fair volunteers and may He bless you too!
What is your favorite part of a county or state fair? Do you have a favorite fair memory to share? I'd love to hear it!"

ReplyDeleteThank you Richard! God sure is amazing in His creativity! He could have made our world drab and colorless or given us just one kind of flower. But He lavished us with amazing color and flower variety. May He bless and keep you!
