And now - October means  pumpkins galore

Is there a patch near you to visit?  I'm inspired from these last year pics from the Dallas arboretum

We  need that orange  pop of color.  

Monday Moments

 Sunday was spectacular at the Dallas Arboretum. Perfect blue October skies, crispness in the air, and pumpkins. Glorious amounts of orange abounded.  Linda considered getting garden advice from Lucy.

 Linda T. and I enjoyed it all

 Plenty of crowds but everyone behaved in the Peanuts pumpkin patch

Lovely sculptures tucked among colors and pumpkins

Happy Monday!

Wordless Wednesday - Pumpkin Mania Part 2

more pumpkin mania from this year's Dallas Arboretum Fall Spectacular.  Plus a whole lot of purple.  Too early for the mums to pop. I need to go back soon.

I pay a membership fee and I like to consider this "MY GARDEN".  They do such a good job here - my money is working hard.  Enjoy!

Wordless Wednesday - Pumpkin Mania

Fall at the Dallas Arboretum 2017 - it's pumpkin mania..............Kerpow for Orange Power

Leaves me speechless

Fall Tablescape

I love October. It's my birthday month (official date October 8), it's generally cooler in Texas, and there's just a crispness to the air and my attitude.  I will have spent this past weekend in PA visiting my Dad and family, and catching up with old friends. (Yes, I've known them since junior high and we are getting old(er) )

Last weekend I visited our local nursery and bought these pumpkins for my fall tablescape. Bright and cheery oranges and yellow pop - a treat for the eye.

So, happy October and Monday. Back to work for me.

Good Morning Monday, Let's Reflect on Sunday

 Fall festival time at the Dallas Arboretum. This place is beyond fabulous.
Yes, we are blocking the mums - Evelyn, me, and Linda T

 Ray said we're the thorns - Ev, Erica, Linda, and yours truly

 Tons and tons of pumpkins everywhere.

 Gorgeous rose

Fall melange of colors.

October glory finally arrived with "cooler" temps and a touch of crispness in the air.

Have a good week everyone
