Whatever Wednesday - More Pumpkins - hey it's fall

Fall at the Dallas Arboretum is absolutely beyond spectacular.   Ray was busy calculating the pumpkin count. Over 500 on one building alone.
Our Texas drought has affected  other areas.  Even the arboretum's flower  color is a tad faded. Still lovely,  but you can only water  so  much.  We  needed rain in  October   (hello climate  issues)
Um, pumpkins  galore
Cue the mums.................oh, yeah!
and a sweet statue finale

    I don't think I've ever seen purple mums before.

      that color just popped. They have test gardens and no doubt came up with that shade somehow.

    Pumpkin buildings, even? That's unique.
    I wish I could send you some of our rains. But perhaps you're finally getting rain in Texas? At least, may the drought be over. Sheesh.
    Hugs.

      The arb goes all out. It’s cool. We are cooler now with a chance of spritz soon. Not enough.
      Have a great weekend
