Maine Common Ground Country Fair
The Maine Organic Farmers & Gardeners Association's Common Ground Country Fair. I visually feast on the colors at the Farmers' Market! The green herb above: Sweet Annie. The second you enter the gate you smell it, aaaaaahhhhh. The gardener tells me, that it's an established tradition at the Fair...
Amazingly slow bumper to bumper cars going in & out. I wasn't sure it was worth it, though the scenery was beautiful.
But it IS worth it to celebrate the artistry, creativity, health & natural beauty of rural America!! So many visitors means that there are a lot of people who love nature & a gentle, homemade side of American culture.
Happy Autumn!

Amazed at the line of cars headed toward the Organic Country Fair. I, like you, don't know if I would have the patience to wait in traffic. But, your photos confirm how it is truly a worthwhile event. Sweet Annie is a favorite of mine. Really the whole herbal cornucopia intrigues me. Looks like you are enjoying the area surrounding your new home. -- barbara
