We have one here that celebrates a special apple that is grown here, and it's an old fashioned small town fair, really lovely. Unfortunately we don't have cows like Maggie who really cracked me up! The white barn is beautiful, I probably would have taken tons of photos of it.<br />The purple flower looks lovely, however, I don't know what it is called.Carola Bartzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05536486322412234854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8796960161183320830.post-65667706814118271882014-10-09T08:23:43.018-04:002014-10-09T08:23:43.018-04:00Looks amazing - and how wonderful the grandchildre...Looks amazing - and how wonderful the grandchildren are learning Chinese - makes so much sense.<br /><br />Love the scenery ... cheers HilaryHilary Melton-Butcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17596532480645510678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8796960161183320830.post-51631336100087515432014-10-09T08:21:44.585-04:002014-10-09T08:21:44.585-04:00So much to see and do there!So much to see and do there!EG CameraGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12803759124643467711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8796960161183320830.post-18345893566830096792014-10-09T04:10:57.170-04:002014-10-09T04:10:57.170-04:00Me revoilà !

The plants look like annual salvias to me but never saw such gorgeous colours. I would have enough space and time for Alpacas... worth a thought, my remaining horse is so lonely. But then I would be tempted to use their wool and then I should knit again.... so much one could do but the winter will not be long enough I fear. Loved the longhorns, btw. Lovely pictures, must be great in Georgia.bayouhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08803865167364775151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8796960161183320830.post-40699775535397390902014-10-05T00:45:13.013-04:002014-10-05T00:45:13.013-04:00What an absolutely beautiful spot.. so much to see...What an absolutely beautiful spot.. so much to see and do and enjoy.
