Random Fodder

Yesterday, Sebastian entered seven items into the local garden club's Junior Harvest Show. The prizes given out were timed along with the elementary school's open house.

Blue Ribbon: Other Annual (Nasturtium)

Sebastian received three blue ribbons, three red ribbons, and an honorable mention. He was excited to hear the news, and even more excited to see his entry forms with ribbons on them. I have posted pictures throughout this post of the three blue ribbon entries.

Blue Ribbon: Raspberries

Oddly enough, Sebastian's entry that received honorable mention was, in my opinion, the best looking entry he placed. Unfortunately, the category was an artistic category for a bouquet, and Sebastian had only three flowers in a glass jar. The other entries were full bouquets that had been arranged.

Blue Ribbon: Zucchini

One entry was both sad and amusing. One child had brought in blueberries for the show. They were in a Ziploc bag, so I'm guessing he brought them to school on the bus. All five blueberries were completely crushed. Nonetheless, it was the only blueberry entry, so it won the blue ribbon in the blueberry category. So, it's truly a bittersweet victory. I guess it's much better than losing because your berries got crushed.
