Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower. ~Albert Camus
Yes, it is almost Autumn, September 23, 2011, I believe. Autumn is my favorite time of year. I so like the colors ... yellow, brown, orange, red. And the holidays ... Halloween, Veteran's Day, Thanksgiving. And events ... our NC State Fair, local art/craft events, Farmer's Markets.
Our State Fair, an agricultural fair, comes at the best time of the year, during the month of October, usually accompanied by cool days/nights, light rain showers. The coolness seems to make the animals a little perkier/more active. And all the 4-H events! Cows, goats, sheep, pigs, chickens, ducks, horses and more. And the exhibits! Gourds, cake decorating, dressmaking, watermelon, apples, canning, baking and more. And entertainment! Clogging, fireworks, midway
rides, exhibits, singing, folk dancing, Village of Yesteryear and more. Then the food ... OMG, the food. Funnel cakes, sausage w/ onions & peppers, fresh bar be cue sandwiches, cotton candy, corn on the cob, taffy, candied apples and so much more. Oh WOW, such fun. Get your family and friends together, head over to the fair for a fun filled day. See ya there!!! Check it out...NC State Fair, located at our state capital, Raleigh, NC
