j I Ida’s Notebook Ida Risser This is the season for going to fairs. My husband picked a day that suited him and off we went to the York Fair. 1 had mixed feelings about going as I was reluctant to leave a basket of tomatoes, one of pears and one of apples on the back porch. Also waiting to be picked were the blue grapes and the cucumbers. But, 1 tackled the job of packing a lunch which is my usual assignment on any all-day trip away from home.

In the first building that we visited, there were hundreds and hundreds of geese, ducks, chickens, pigeons and rabbits. Even a few guinea pigs were there and reminded me of the ones that I had raised m my father’s bam long ago.
