Fall

It is simply beautiful around here right now. I laughed out loud this morning on the way to work... it was almost unbelievable! Wildlife, fall colors, mist coming off the streams and swamps, that golden light!

Here's how my canned goods fared at the fair: 

Apple Butter

Maple Syrup

Sauerkraut

There were only two entries in the Sauerkraut division, and yet I got 4th place! That only enhances the mystery. Oh, the enigma of the county fair canned foods judge... they don't even taste the goods! 

Even sadder, I didn't get back to the fair on the Sunday night it closed in time to pick up my entries... most mourned is that maple syrup! March isn't too far, though.
