I loved seeing th...Eileen girl ! What can I say ?!!<br />I loved seeing the Halloween crafts and all the bits and pieces of this fair .. I haven't been to one in ages and we always wonder about funnel cakes, I think that is more of an American treat ? <br />I loved seeing that pastry/cake shot .. wow ! beautiful edible art !! LOL .. and the PUMPKINS! .. We saw a couple on a road side stand but we have to get to our market square soon to see unusual gourds .. I love different colours .. we had a blue one on the front step one year and didn't "somebody" walk away with it ! You can imagine what I was thinking I bet ? haha<br />Loved the post .. VERY Autumnal !<br />Joy : )CanadianGardenJoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18130452541076704075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2243579953985871041.post-75115449481224238552010-09-08T16:51:50.210-05:002010-09-08T16:51:50.210-05:00Everyone needs a break, Eileen.

But, even the roses do well up there. My same knockouts at home are not flowering!<br /><br />EileenGatsbys Gardenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04228978705943696143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2243579953985871041.post-39770677452361523062010-09-07T13:34:10.886-05:002010-09-07T13:34:10.886-05:00Hi Memsync, the pumpkin was huge, actually a lot b...Hi Memsync, the pumpkin was huge, actually a lot bigger than the picture shows.<br /><br />EileenGatsbys Gardenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04228978705943696143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2243579953985871041.post-8747100496484678532010-09-07T13:33:24.223-05:002010-09-07T13:33:24.223-05:00Hi Edith, we had a great time and the weather was ...Hi Edith, we had a great time and the weather was lovely.

(Well, ok, more like a hundred miles south of me) Your garden in WI looks as if you tend it every day, how do you do it?! It is simply beautiful! <br /><br />Thank you for showing us the fair; we didn't even make it to our county fair this year and it was only three miles away, just too much work to do around here. Those cakes were amazing--the one with the roses was gorgeous. Yes, we do live a completely different lifestyle than the major metro areas. My nearest neighbor is 1/4 mile away and I think that's too close, lol.

Oh, yes, how Iloved to try to win a Goldfish, but, just as your mother was against such things, so indeed was mine. It is always so refreshing and envigorating to do something completely different on a holiday weekend and makes the daily grind more bearable.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
