Fair and Fall Fun!

I LOVE Fall! I love the colors, the weather, and yes, even the smells! Right now, as I write this entry, my neighbors must have a fire going somewhere, because I can smell the wonderful smoke of wood burning! Ya'll know the real smell I'm talking about - the everything-is-fried smell of the State Fair!

Again, and I know I harp on this, but the Lord truly shows me that He is constantly with me by the beauty that I see through Him. My eyes are opened to His awesome deeds - every single day!

I love the deep red that you only see on a tree during the Fall...

An apple pie that I baked from scratch, for my sweetheart:)

I pass this scene everyday...The wooden gate surrounds a horse farm (including a zebra). One thing I do love about this area is the back roads - they're beautiful!



The North Carolina State Fair!!!

Click on the photo above for a better view - I love this photo! I just happened to look up - while fighting to get through the mob of people - and see this most perfect sign in the most perfect place. Unfortunately, it was getting dark, so the lighting is not great:(

At Gate 8, in the Village of Yesteryear - Smitty's - Love it!

Sister and brother looking at LIVE bees!

We always go in to the produce building to see the magnificent array of vegetation. That pumpkin is 800+ pounds!


The Dorton Arena


Some more colors I love...the Ferris Wheel at night :)

Of course, had to get some proof that I actually got to spend some quality time with my hubs. This is literally 2 seconds after he got his funnel cake - covered in powdered sugar;)

Wonder how much they spent to get their son ALL of these prizes???

This man comes to the fair every year. I don't know his name, but the shotguns he carves are gorgeous!

He wouldn't admit it, but do you notice how often I post a photo of Billy's artistic ability? He's a photographer at heart I think!
