The Fair We had the opportunity to attend the fair this past week.  Ah, nothing like the sights and sounds of excitement.  I grew up without a fair since I grew up in the city.  I love the rural life I live and never tire of the blue ribbons awarded to gardeners and crafters.  I did not enter any of my knits, I never do.
Truth is I'm too lazy to drive them there and pick them up!  However, I can appreciate other people's talents and I can get some nifty ideas. The downsize of attending the fair is the after effects of eating non-healthy food.  Sigh.  I need a salad, I crave a salad!  Thank goodness this event only happens once a year.  My body requires a year to recover from the decadence.

If you know me at all, you know I gravitate to the barns to see the animals.  Sheep and goats are my absolute favorites.  My husband would love to own some farm animals - I just like the daydreaming portion but I doubt the reality of tending farm animals would be easy and carefree.  I believe it's work. My week has been busy.  My daughter and son in law are both here - every day we have something going on and it's been fun having a full schedule, full table setting at dinner time.  I find pockets of time to pick up my knitting so the second sleeve is still seeing progress. Oh hey!  The temperatures are down to regular fall-like feels.  It's about time, I was cold yesterday when the sunset and that was a feeling I'd like to bottle up and keep close to my heart forever.  Maybe just maybe we are done with those pesky heat waves.
