Fall has arrived in the midstate here in PA. While in Myrtle Beach, SC, so much rain fell from Thursday through Friday of that week that there local flooding occurred in some small streams, on certain roadways that don't drain well and unfortunately in some folk's basements. Fortunately there were no problems here at The Puddle Pond and the level of the water in The Puddle Pond rose dramatically.
The leaves on the trees also turned color and lots made their way to the ground while we were gone.
This year was the 98th Farmers Fair in the small town of Dillsburg. As you can probably discern, the town creatively uses the dill aspect of their name. On New Year's Eve, a large dill pickle is lowered much as New York City lowers the big ball every year. There are also lots of events and food, most featuring dill pickles.
Now dill is my favorite fresh herb but deep fried dill pickles or dill pickle ice cream just don't sound all that appetizing to me and I have yet to try them.
Anyway, the picture below was taken on Saturday when a trip was made to check out the festivities at the fair. The tents, and there were tons more that I didn't take a picture of, housed many, many craft booths. There was a display of antique and classic cars, tractors from years gone by, food, agricultural displays and crafts that are judged and several parades.
One of the long streets running through town served as a display area for classic and antique automobiles. There was an unbelievable variety of vehicles.
I can't remember exactly what model this was but I loved the color and the rounded lines.

A Dodge pickup truck.
A girlfriend for our VW, Peche. Check out those eyelids! Cute!
Haar's Drive-In Theater was mentioned in a post earlier this summer and here is their van.
Here's the full moon taken Sunday morning around 12:30PM.
Same glorious full moon when I returned from my Sunday morning walk at 7AM.
I couldn't resist taking a picture of the trees that are almost bare of their leaves and all the leaves on the ground.
It's chilly here tonight and a wood fire has been started in the wood stove to keep the chill off the house.
Hoping you are having a good week wherever you are.
