Turns out things were right that I made it to the Minnesota State Fair on Thursday, opening day. That day set a record for most people to have visited the fair on opening day, 114,000 plus. It didn’t seem that crowded, although we were gone by late afternoon when things probably got really crazy.

The weather was great as was the food.

And once I learn how to download photos from my camera on to my computer, I’ll post some photos.

But today is simply too gorgeous of a day to be typing a blog.

And if you’re reading this blog, shut down your computer and head outdoors.

There will be plenty of cold weather ahead in the months to come for things like this.
