Summer in Ohio

We've been to the Ohio State Fair in Columbus, Carillon Park in Dayton, and out and about in Troy (walking while the weather is good). Some days have been hot and muggy, but today it's quite nice outside. We were at the YMCA this morning taking an interim aerobics class (regular classes are over till September 2nd and the pool is closed till August 23rd while it's cleaned and paint touch-ups are done). Kaci Harpest, our teacher today, is enthusiastic (!) and stops every now and then to say, "Get a drink if you need one." Like we would NOT need one ....

Ohio State Fair. A Clydesdale gets an ear trim. He did not like it.

A Columbus Zoo employee displays a sloth at the fair. I wanted to say to the guy in the blue shirt, "Hey. There's a sloth in back of you."

Everyone's hibiscuses (hibisci?) are in bloom. So pretty.
