A "Summer" Saturday

On September 3rd, we went to the Alaska State Fair.  Now that we've moved to Palmer (Or maybe we live in Wasilla-even our landlord doesn't know which town our house actually resides in--She's quite professional.), the state fair is in our town area. 

My winter hat and all-weather jacket were not enough to keep me warm.  In order to make the $13 per person experience bearable for me, Scott gave me his coat.  Yes.  I was the person walking around in two coats next to person in short sleeves. He's ridiculously kind to me.  If I were him, I'd be rather annoyed at my insistence in dressing like I still live in Pennsylvania, as shorts and flip-flops are standard September-wear there. 

This is what we came home with:



Now.  A snowman made out of a gourd.  Clearly a Christmas decoration.  The weather here is such that I plugged it right into the family room wall and it looks quite at home.

The headband?  Well, clearly I'm obsessed.  The weather is such that I wore it all weekend long, inside and out.

Yay.


The flowers?  It was our 3-year dating anniversary.  Scott is glad that I have a memory like an elephant. 

I mean, come on.  The proof is on the wall.
