I would love to say I don't know where it went, but I do! The Markers of FallJust like any other season, I seem to have a full plate this fall. Mentally September always signals that fall is here, for me. Of course, because I am of a certain age Labor Day indicates the end of summer and the start of the school year, and therefore Beth Hunterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17431103172678397165noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9036395284041892177.post-61233858146779018072021-09-26T08:24:00.000-04:002021-09-26T08:24:19.649-04:00The Fair and FoodThe fair is one of my favorite summer activities. Some are better than others for different reasons. The large county fairs in Califonia were bigger than many big State Fairs in some of the states I have lived in. I think how our communities are changing and the weather may have something to do with the lower turnout at all the fairs.

I started this post on using Quilters Select Rulers because I had an opportunity to show them off in February.
