At this time of year these are a few of my favorite things:
The magnificent colors of red, yellow gold and brown.
Blue sky and crisp cool days, crystal clear nights letting stars and moon cover the earth with a blanket of brilliance.
Halloween: Yards decorated with creative pumpkins, scarecrows, and cornstalks.
Festivals and special events.
On Sunday, October 18 my friend and I visited the historical Batsto Village Country Fair Festival. Batsto Village is located on Route 542 in Green Bank, NJ.
It's a rewarding experience at the one day festival, but it is also a pleasant place in the Pinelands to reflect on a once upon a time community that played a vital part in our country's beginning. There were a number of towns in the Pines, but few remain with the splendor of Batsto.
These pods are sending their seedlings into the wind, but before they go we capture a ghostly figure and fish like characters.
Many things related to the village, books on the area, prints and treats were some of the items for sale in the Gift Shoppe.
The dulcimer played by these musical individuals was very entertaining.
This crafter's booth had many items for sale using the soft and cuddly wool.
Of all the photos I have taken, this incident will always be remembered as a special time in a child's life. The little girl was with her parents and she was mesmerized by a doll that looked like he was having trouble with his little car. She physically and verbally tried to console the "little boy." She gently patted him on his back and tried to look at his face. It was heart warming to see the gentleness and compassion this child had for someone she thought needed comforting.
Handmade Brooms are a combination of science and art - since 1977. Dr. Moyer's broom making heritage comes from his Pennsylvania Dutch roots. He has published a "book" on how to make many broom designs and simple equipment for making them. e-mail: moyerbase@aol.com. www.broomcrafters.com
