I did not end up stitching for Labor Day. Sometimes the best laid plans......
Here is a cute pic that we took at the Fair. We don't know why these ladies were dressed like that, but they were so cute sitting there having some food.
Since then we attended the annual 911 Remembrance Ceremony at the Central fire station. Most of the pics are on Tanya's camera, but I did get this one of the flags on the lawn.

Every year about this time, Larry and I seem to end up taking a day to "have a Fall adventure". One year we drove out the Petersville Road until we saw a spectacular sunset. This year we were invited by friends to go up to Eureka for the afternoon. It was chilly and rainy - we almost backed out. But the further up the Glenn Hwy, the nicer the weather got. There was still a bit of a chilly breeze, but it IS Fall. I don't remember going this way at this time of year before. We stopped at Bonnie Lake to stretch our legs and I took some pics of the colors and the great scenery.


Just this side of Eureka, there is a communications tower on top of what looks like a hill because it is so much shorter than the mountains surrounding it. We turned off the highway on the gravel road that goes toward the tower and saw a lynx cross the road in front of us. I wish we hadn't been in the car so we could have gotten a pic of it. We met another couple and the dogs there at the base of the tower and walked down to the stream to play in the water and look for a bit of gold. For today, all the gold was on the trees. Once we drove to the top of the "hill", we found it was much higher than it looked. And the views from the top were wonderful!
