Markham Apple Fest

It's Fall Fair time and today was the Markham Apple Fest.   The event is held at the Markham Historical Museum.







I belong to the Markham Towne Quilter's Guild and we always do a display of our quilts in the small church, so naturally I attended.





They fire up the old tractors, the mill cuts wood, there is apple cider making in one of the barns and tiny railway trips for the kids.




 The perfect "note" to kick off Autumn.

Country Farm Produce

It's the last Saturday in August.  There is a nip in the air and you just know that Fall is on the way.

Time for some fall produce!.

Not five minutes from my house is wide open farm land

and great produce stands
The sun is shining, I get a drive in the country and some 'just picked' produce ... does it get any better?
