In recent years we've been spoiled by the mild temperatures during our annual excursion to the Fryeburg Fair... not so this trip! Wednesday's weather was reminiscent of some of the early years when our family would be sure to break out the winter gear once the warmth of the sun was swallowed up below the horizon of the Western Maine mountains.
Touring the livestock barns was saved for later in the evening when we could enjoy the natural heat emissions produced by the animal population.
Somehow we missed the goats and hogs buildings, however.. How did that happen? I love the goats!
The dip toward 40•F in the mercury prompted us to leave a couple hours earlier than usual but did not diminish our enjoyment. I am fairly certain, however, that Dad would have preferred for Mom to have told him at the beginning of the night, that she had packed his hat and gloves, rather than 20 minutes before we left the fairgrounds.
