It's so hard to believe we're just a week away from Labor Day weekend and two weeks away from the start of school again!! This has been such a wonderful summer and I'm kind of sorry that it's coming to such a rapid end. Normally, I can't wait for fall because it means cooler weather but this year Mother Nature has apparently listened to my prayers and turned the usual sweltering August in New York into a month filled with hardly any humidity and way-below-normal temperatures. It's actually been a pleasure to spend time outside and this weekend we visited the Dutchess County Fair in Rhinebeck, NY. We couldn't have asked for a more beautiful day!!

| Petting a bunny. |

| My mother-in-law spotted this Praying Mantis in a bush and then we saw another one. Definitely a rare find around these parts!! |
 |
| My handsome son, Brendan, who was in his glory with all of the animals and farming activities going on. |
 |
| My nephew, Andre. |
 |
| Ever since seeing an episode of "Caillou" where he eats cotton candy Megan has been asking for some. She finally got her wish. |
 |
| And, boy, was she HAPPY!!!!! |
 |
| My nephew Jason enjoying some, too!! |
 |
| Cool Dude, Andre!!! |
 |
| I absolutely loved this!!!!!! |
 |
| My handsome father-in-law. |
 |
| A piglet. I SOOOO wanted to bring one home!!!! My husband put his foot down on that one. : ) |
 |
| Just a couple of days old. I loved her eye lashes!! |
 |
| My darling son photo-bombing me. |
We're already looking forward to returning next year. There was so much to do and see AND EAT!!! Next weekend, we're headed to the New Paltz Craft Fair which is a yearly end-of-summer tradition that we look forward to every year.
Now for a Sunday Saying . . .
Amen to that!! : )
Many blessings for a beautiful Sunday filled with happiness ~ Wendy
