A good day to get outside, after a couple days of rain and gloom. We were off to a "fall fun fest" put on by our county soil and water conservation district. It's rural Americana at its finest. The county Commissioners judge chili concoctions. Balloons everywhere. Master gardeners showing off their stuff. Free cider and donuts. Kids decorating pumpkins and climbing up the hay bale pyramid. Horse drawn wagon rides. All set in a big barn at the fairgrounds, amidst a backdrop of fall foliage.
Linda was there at the First Book table, giving free books out to kids who wanted them. First Book is a great cause. In this era of videogames and, well, computer screens, it is important to show children how reading books can be a lifelong adventure.
But enough of this - I need to get outside!

HA! I thought you were going to say 'I need to ... go read a book.'
We've had our share of rain too.
Huron County, huh? So you're not really that far from me.
Looks like fun.
That looks like it was a fun day. Better get outside as much as you can now. Before you know it, the snow will be falling, and you won't want to go out.
