272 Old Yardley News - Sunday, September 28th, 2008
September 28, 2008
It’s a nasty day out there. Rather than traipse around in the rain for another photograph, I’m posting another shot from yesterday’s harvest fest. The folks at Afton Library were selling old photographs and editions of Yardley News for $1.00 to benefit the Library. I could have stayed there all day sifting through the photographs and reading the news.
