Fall Colors




A lot of the trees here haven't even started turning- so it's hard to believe we've had snow showers twice already!

It wasn't snow that lingered, but somehow I think it might signal a long winter...

Here's hoping you are enjoying yourweekend!

Pumpkins

For fun we grew pumpkins in our front flower bed. They filled in the end of the bed that we weren't quite sure what to do with quite nicely. In fact they took over! and climbed down the hill all of the way to the mailbox.


We planted three plants and harvested one pumpkin from each. Here is one as a baby. They grew quite large.
Two of them were cooperative and grew up in the flowerbed. The third grew over the edge of the hill. It was quite a challenge for William to get it up and of course it was the largest!


I had Coleen and Biscuit pose with the pumpkins after William rolled them around the house. As you can see Biscuit is a little distracted...

by the cat!
