What’s Up in the Neighborhood, August 5, 2023

By the time you read this, I’ll be on the road, delivering my six photos and one rug to the New York State Fair in Syracuse for judging and consideration. On the way back, I might stop at that Amish grocery store in Fort Plain, they’ve got some tasty treats there and it’s a great driving break for me.

But before I go anywhere … it’s time for this week’s recap of the blog posts and photos from the dear hearts and gentle people who live in my blog roll.
