It’s always fun to see the quilts during fair season. Cindy’s annual tour to the Ohio State fair is a highlight of our summer blog, but I have to tell you that there are no quilting slouches here in our little hidden corner of New York!
Mom and I attended the Steuben County fair yesterday (on it’s 200th anniversary, no less). And we oohed and aahed at the quilting talent sprinkled in our midst.
Just after we entered the fair grounds, we went in search of some cows. I needed to lean against one and inhale her perfume– and look what I found, a cow + a quilt. Bonus! I love the well-loved tone of this fabric.
Our next bee-line was to the root beer float truck. Sublime.
My son and I have been touring the farm on weekends. The air has turned a little fall-ish, but the views are still divine.
I am four days away from being the proud mother of a college freshmen. I’m going to be needing a lot of fresh air.
You got this! We’ll be cheering you on from our little corners of the world. Looks like you had a great time at the fair!
Thanks Wendy! I will be happy to see him in his new place, but then the silence….
This post was ‘fresh air’ for me! Thanks!
Hi Sandy! Yum-o that root beer float looks divine. I can almost taste it. They did a great job with the truck and their whole theme. Only four days until school starts?! Wow, that whole senior year and this summer just whipped by, didn’t it?!! {{Hugs}} Things will be different but that’s not a bad thing. You’ve got this! ~smile~ Roseanne
I just visited our county fair and saw the 4-H dairy judging. Like you, I enjoy that whiff of dairy! Great cow and quilt photo—all the photos! Best wishes as you transition to college mom. It’s such a mix of excitement tinged and a tiny bit of sadness when you say goodbye. Thankfully moms are hearty souls who learn how to grow with their children.
Ah — a kindred spirit when it comes to dairy air 🙂
My goal is to never let him see me break down. I hope I can hold the wailing in until I get safely home LOL!
You’ve got this! Good luck to you and your son. Celebrate being a proud mom.
I just experienced getting my grandchildren to kinder and third grade. I am a proud grandma.
Chela– those little years are so fun! Enjoy!
Thanks for your post. Going to the fair is now on my list of places and events I want to visit.
I love the picture of one of the ladies working at the fair! Lovely quilts and looks so fun! Oh and the scenery looks wonderful as well as the root beer float!
