Pumpkins Everywhere!

Every year during Fall we always go to a pumpkin farm.  Recently, we took a trip to the pumpkin farm in Wheatland, where happy faces of children and adults were all around us.

 

 

 

The scrarecrows were

greeting us in their

unique costumes.

Here is the Wizard

of Oz' Dorothy and

Scarecrow.

red slippers.

I loved this wheelbarrow

filled with fall flowers.

 

 

 

The train is a must

to go on every year.

 

 

 

There's even a petting zoo.

Here's a sweet little goat.

 

 

 

Look over here, donkey.

 

 

 

The burro was a bit shy.

 

 

 

They have the most

delicious goodies;

cinnamon rolls with

cream cheese frosting.

 

 

 

A variety of pies.

 

 

 

Ahhh, my favorite,

the caramel apples.

 

 

 

The bright orange

pumpkins made

my heart sing.

 

 

 

A mouse pumpkin.

 

 

 

They even had

pink pumpkins!

 

 

 

Is this the oldest

truck you've ever

seen?

 

 

 

What a fun day

at the pumpkin farm!

What A Glorious Day

Nel got married last weekend!  It was a glorious day, and everyone had a fun time.  Jess' speech, as the Maid of Honor, was so special and very touching.  The flower arrangements that were made by the groom's aunt were beautiful.  It was a lantern with a white candle inside surrounded by red roses.  We still have to get our pictures together, and soon we will share them with you.  This is the beautiful Catholic church she was married in.

 

Nel is a bride now!

Her and her husband

have a long journey

ahead of them.

Meet The Girls!

I know it's a little early, but when I saw these three witches at Marshalls, I had to get them.  They reminded me of me, Nel, and Jess.

The one in the middle with the sweet mishievous smile is Jess, the smart and clever one on the left is Nel, and the older and wiser one on the right is me. hehe 
O.K. maybe just older....

I love my witches.  They are sewn and stuck together, and that's the way that I always want us to be.

Have you decorated for Fall yet?

Thank You For My Coffee

I was in the drive-through line at Starbucks getting my usual cup of coffee, and it was my turn to pay.  I'm at the window and the guy says to me, "the lady in front of you bought your coffee today."  I said, "does she know me?" and he said, "I don't know, she just told me she'd pay for your coffee too."  I thought it was the nicest thing, and it made my day special.  Has that ever happened to you?

Let us be grateful

to people who make

us happy: they are

the charming

gardeners who

make our souls

blossom.

I hope

someone

makes

you

happy

this

weekend.

Your Unique Self

Everyone's

personality

is different -

that's what

makes us all

unique individuals.

 

Are you a bit shy?

 

 

 

Possibly a tomboy?

 

 

 

Do you smile alot?

 

 

 

Like to have fun?

 

 

 

Do you have

lovely tendencies?

 

 

 

Are you funny?

 

 

 

A

relaxed person

or

a daydreamer?

 

 

 

Maybe you're

a bit

whimsical?

 

 

 

Whatever you are,

that makes you

the special person

that I'm thankful

to call my friend.

 

What is your

personality?

I'd love to hear.

Welcome Fall

Fall...  There is so much wondrous beauty  during this time that make this season my most favorite of all.

The weather gets cooler

and

The leaves start to fall

 

 

 

Hot apple cider

 

 

 

Scented spice candles

 

 

 

And most important,

Nel gets married

in the Fall!

 

 

 

A little elf

sat in a tree

painting leaves

to throw at me.

 

Leaves of yellow

and leaves of red

came tumbling down

about my head.

Do you have any special Fall plans?

A Holiday Hike

This weekend, we went for a hike in the Orange County hills of Crystal Cove State Park.
  

Along the way, we passed by some interesting landscape.

Is it just me, or this cactus giving us a 'warm greeting'? 

We stumbled upon a sun bathing lizard and a little jack rabbit with a white fluffy tail (who unfortunately did not want his picture taken.)  But luckily, the lizard posed for my camera.

We hiked all the way to the ocean, where the seaside breeze cooled us off. 

Sometimes the most pleasant afternoon is one spent outdoors.  I hope you all had a very relaxing Labor Day.
