Sunflower Festival Recap
July 3, 2007 at 8:03 am | Posted in family, fun | 2 Comments
We had a great time at the Sunflower Festival this year. We spent too much money and ate too much food and got way too hot, but it was worth it.
The girls had a great time too. There are many local artisans selling their wares, which we purchased (of course). And there was an antique tractor parade, which we liked because we dream of one day having enough land to warrant having a tractor!
There are gardens to explore, a sharecroppers home and, of course, huge sunflowers fields to visit and cut sunflowers.
There was a lot of good fair/festival-type food and entertainment. Also, there was a kids’ area with face painting and pony rides and a petting zoo and an enchanted forest.

It’s time for the Annual Sunflower Festival again! If you live anywhere within driving distance of Rutledge, GA you simply must bring the entire family out for a weekend of fun in the sun-flowers ;)
There will be live music, the sharecropper’s house tour, cut your own sunflowers for $7 (vase included), hay rides, pony rides and petting zoo, demonstrations, food, local market, kids’ activities, antique tractors, and much more! They have tons of activities for the kids.
Have a :) weekend!

We finally found some molds when we were in Florida on vacation (of course, I am seeing them everywhere at home … now … go figure). Here are the molds my mom-in-law bought us:
So the other night we made dreamsicles. We used the recipe I found here called “Creamy Juice Bars”.
Here are all our ingredients: vanilla ice cream (they only had French Vanilla at Whole Foods that day – they would have been better with regular vanilla), frozen orange juice concentrate, a blender and molds. How easy!
Blending the ingredients …
My daughter just couldn’t help herself …
Pouring the mixture into the molds …
Ready to be frozen …
Eating the yummy treat!
Have a nice and cool day :)

Strawberries, Soil and Sun

First, my dear hubby got up this morning to finish getting the ground ready for my late-but-oh-well vegetable garden. Here are a couple of picture of him from yesterday tilling up the area…
Isn’t he just the best husband to do all this for me? I think so! I love you! Anyway, …..
