This past Saturday was the Sparkleberry County Fair in Northeast Columbia. (Anyone know what a "sparkleberry" is? I'd like to know.) Despite the heat and lack of shade, we had a nice family time. (I suppose anytime I get to have a chocolate filled crepe for lunch is a good time.)
Anyhoo, the boys enjoyed bouncing around on the inflatables, riding the ferris wheel and choo-choo train, and gorging themselves on funnel cake (Justin included).

I never denied that my husband is a geek. Gee.
I don't think Mr. Sparkle is your husband. See for yourself:

The U.S. National Arboretum presents 'Sparkleberry' holly, an improved deciduous holly for the landscape. 'Sparkleberry' produces a striking and long-lasting display of brilliant red winter berries on large plants of upright form. Planted at woodland's edge or in a massed grouping, 'Sparkleberry' will add sparkle to your landscape! 'Sparkleberry' is a female selection and requires a pollinator for good fruiting. A male selection of the same cross, Ilex 'Apollo', was released as a pollinator for 'Sparkleberry'.
Finally all my years studying science have paid off........I knew this!!!!
