That great Fall time.

School is in and the weather has started the Fall temps.  I am glad for this time of the year. I find that  with the cooler temps most of us feel a lot better.

There are things to do each weekend that has to do with fun times right in our home town.  The Great Frederick Fair is in town this week. There are rides and farm animals to go see.  Great food tents and these vendors are local churches and groups that we all know.  The Fair has been going Strong for many a year. I can remember it when I was  a child as well as when I grew up to be a teen. Then when I got married and had my family I took my children to see it. I use to enter my quilts in the Fair in the Household. I won a few ribbons too. Then once my children got to be teens they went with their friends.

Fall can mean a lot of different things to different people. It is a time of changes too. We see some of those changes in the trees and the animals. There are fruits of the fields and gardens that now are in the pantry or the root cellars.  Jams and jellies and pies and preserves all lined up on the shelves. Pickles and chutneys are there too.  All kept for the Holidays and Winter eating.

Soon the Winter snows could be on the land and the roads. That is when most of us look like Eskimos with all the Winter wear on.  I can say I can wait for this to come for some time later on.  But for now, I will take the cool/warm days of our time called FALL!
