Pennsylvania Farm Show week. It's the largest indoor agricultural event in the United States: sixteen acres of displays and exhibits all under one roof. The Pennsylvania Farm Show is a week-long celebration of the state's leading industry - agriculture. Big doings around these parts.

Paul tells us more about the turning and has added a few more images in his post-

I greatly appreciate you all posting your work, it make putting this together a lot easier- especially as I have double duty here while Mimi recuperates. 

 

 

Safe turning

Hope Mimi gets back on her feet and starts running laps around you soon.  I know all too well about being responsible for all the chores.  Not an east task. 

Thanks for the nod on my projects this week.  I took some me time and enjoyed fiddling with those ideas.
