A Fork in the Road!

 On the way to the fair last week my friend pointed this out, so I said on the way home we'd have to stop!
 It's literally a fork in the road!

My 1000th Post! Dutchess County Fair food

 Yum!  Fair food!  When I started this blog 4 years ago, I never thought I'd still be doing it!  ( And I've almost stopped on several occasions)   But I'm still plugging along & I hope my faithful readers are still enjoying it.    My 1st few posts were about the Goshen Fair so it's only fitting I do another fair to mark this milestone!
A friendd & I went to the Dutchess County ( NY) Fair yesterday--she'd never been & I went about 25 years ago!  It about 1 hr. from where we live, so not a bad trip.  The fair runs for 6 days-Tues-Sun.
Had to scope out the food as we walked around.  We knew several friends would be there , so we looked around for them first...all the while looking at all the food choices......
Had a delicious waffle cone with butter pecan ice cream from this vendor--no calories in fair food, right?
Ended up with a roast beef sandwich with horseradish for lunch--ate it before I could take a photo!
Here's the most unusual food item we saw--spaghetti & meatballs on a stick!

Baby Robins

Last night we went to a hunting club that Alan belongs to for their monthly meeting & dinner.  Sat out on the porch beforehand & were told to look up in this hanging flower pot.

 In a nest in the flowers were these adorable baby robins!
The mother was flying around, so we didn't stay around there for very long.  And please know that I used a zoom lens & cropped the photos on the computer--I wasn't as close to them as it looks!
