The County Fair opens this week, just down the road from where we live.  In honor of this event, I thought it appropriate to share a few rural scenes from around our county.

A Quiz

I have read Country Living Magazine since the early 1980’s, almost from the first edition.  One of my favorite regular features is What is It? What is it Worth? 

I am including photos of two farm implements.  Do you know what they are?

I don’t need to know what they are worth. 

The two leaning against the brick wall are priceless. 

The other one is something  J remembers fondly, from a wedding, in which he was an usher.  Imagine, if you will, a much younger J, in a white sport coat. Perhaps he wore a pink carnation.  Remember that song?

The wedding party, including bride and groom, in all their beautiful wedding attire, sat upon a conveyance, like this one, as they were driven to the reception.  This was in a tiny village, not far from our town, many years before J and I met.

We were country, when country wasn’t cool.  We still love it.
