Playing With Pumpkins...

These are the mini white pumpkins I bought at farmer's market on Saturday. I have been playing around with them and those felt crows Emma  and I made. I use this cheese dome for a cloche. If and that is a big IF, I ever sort out my china cabinet....then I could buy some real cloche. I have no place to put them. Gosh, as I am typing this,yes typing with my two fingers. LOL I am thinking , I have a mantle, what better place to keep cloches and have them out all the time. Well thanks everyone for that great idea. :):) So happy !!!

Apples, Butters , And Pumpkins....

 We went to the orchard last year and I am wanting to go back today. We drove by a couple times this year and honestly I didn't see many apples on the trees. These photos are from last year.

 All these yummy butters and honey, sure look good. I have had apple  and pumpkin butters. Never any cherry butter. That might be worth trying once.

I do not need any more pumpkins.I love seeing piles of gourds and pumpkins.Nothing sadder than seeing a pumpkin lying out in the snow at winter. I think I will take the seeds out of the ones I have. Then I can chop the rest up for the compost pile. Until then they are decorations for autumn. Dinner is in the crock pot and I am almost ready for running into town. xo

Mums At The Library....

This is the pretty yellow mum in one of the flowerbeds at the library. I love the soft yellow color. I just may have to buy one .:):) The thing about mums for me , they are so hardy. I love tough plants, not into plants that take lots of care. Don't want to take the time . Too many other things I am interested in doing.
  Had brunch with my classmates today. There were eight of us attending. I know we must sound like a bunch of hens when we are laughing...but laughter is good medicine.:):) Hope you have some laughs today. xo

Sights Around Town....

 This pretty tree is near the courthouse parking lot. We were just sitting at the farmer's market and I decided to walk around, a few blocks, left Ted Bear is charge:):)I absolutely love our change of seasons. To be honest though, I am not looking forward to winter. The wind has been blowing since yesterday after noon and it's taking the beautiful leaves down from the trees.

Saw this cat walking up his drive. Just as I stopped to get his picture, he sat to pose. He was really a big healthy cat. Hope your Sunday is happy . xo

Going Into Town......

 Took this shot through the windshield. I love when the street lamps are on in town. There is nothing very outstanding about our town, but I love it. My brother used to gripe about our town . I asked if he owned an atlas, he said yes, I told him to find himself a route out,if he hated it here so much. LOL. Yes, he still lives here.  No that's not him by the tree, it's one of my scarecrows, just hanging around. We went to Farmer's Market today, for the last time this year. I bought some white mini pumpkins and a book. We didn't sell anything today. I think only a 1/2 dozen people walked through the area. It was cold, didn't get as warm as the weatherman predicted. :):) Hope you day was fun.xo

This Week.....

 Just down the road. This beautiful woods, corn fields, and soy beans fields. The blue house and garage is not a farm. The yellow house, garage and white barn , is one of the owners of the fields and this woods. We are close to this area. This year beans were grown in the field across the road from us. Next year it will be corn....the corn gets so tall, that I start to feel hemmed in by it. So corn season across the road from us , is not my favorite. LOL

This shot is in the Tipton park. I love this tree. You can see the swing sets of the playground. My sisters and I did get to walk the park this week. Love going there. This week was busy for me. I painted one day at my daughters. Got my flu shot. Then had my driver's licenses renewed and the plates on my car. Went to the grocery store one day.Walked with my sisters another. Today will be cleaning out the fridge/freezer. Tomorrow we will set up at the Farmer's Market . Only because it's suppose to be in the high 60's to the low 70's. It will be pleasant to sit out in that kind of weather. Hope all of you have a wonderful weekend.xo

Pumpkins And Mums......

 This is some of the decor on our porch. I haven't been able to do much outside lately. So I feel as if I am way behind. The pumpkin beside the white mum is called goosebumps. My s-i-l grew some this year. Takes a bit of room for pumpkins . I could plant them in our garden plot next year, if I save the seeds . This year we had one tomato plant in a barrel, that was the extent of our garden. Sad :):) I am looking at these pictures and realize the mums are just in the plain plastic pots..Ha. I have some harvest baskets I could have put them in, for a more appealing shot. Enjoy this wonderful day. xoxo
