I like to check out the fair in each city we live in. I am always looking for one like the Sonoma County Fair. I recall it with fond memories.

I have been working festivals around Denver at my second job and I usually see a single bounce thing.
This is the first time I have seen one with multiple people on it.

There were a few ladies doing demos on weaving and spinning.
How nice it is to see them teaching anyone who wanted to learn the process.

Jeremiah was out hiking and took this pic of a mountain goat on the trail last week.
I believe he was at Quandary Peak hiking.
I have only seen these at the Denver zoo.

Here are the cooked beets. I like to put them on salads or pickle them. Or just eat them warm with ICBN spray on them.

I always think it is fun to show what I brought home.
The box is homemade winter squash ravioli. I froze them for later use. The carrots are wonderful.
