To all you ghostly goblins.

Pumpkin heads

Scary ghost

Skeltons, bones a rattling

Wicked witches brewing

their concoctions eeeeh

This little old Italian

witch is wishing you

a safe and fun Trick-

Or-Treat night.

PICNIC AT PALISADES PARK

Yesterday was a beautiful autumn day here in central

Alabama. The temperature was in the 70's with not a

cloud in the sky and no wind. My husband and I took

advantage of the day and went on a picnic to Palisades Park,

in Oneonta, Alabama. Above are some pictures of the old

buildings they have there. The first is a chapel overlooking

the bluff, the second is a store, the third is a house, the fourth

is an old one room school house. The trees are just now starting

to change colors but are not at their peak yet.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LISA

I want to wish my
daughter-in-law, Lisa,
a very happy birthday.
Have a great day. Love you

SUNRISE

My husband and I meet some friends for breakfast 4 times

a week. This morning I just happened to have my camera

with me and captured the above pictures of the sunrise taken

outside just one of our meeting places, Burger King, on

Chalkville Mountain Road, Trussville, Alabama.

AUTUMN

ANOTHER PAIR OF PILLOWCASES

Although I had already embroidered a pair just like the
ones pictured above, I could not pass up a bargain at a
yard sale where I found these still in the original package
and all the thread to work them for only $1.00.

HALLOWEEN IS COMING

Two of my halloween stake outs I painted
years ago. When my husband and I
used to be in the craft business he would
cut out the items and I would paint them.
It was fun seeing them in the neighbor's
yards.

One of my many picket fences. I still use
this one for different holidays.

Mr. Scarecrow watches over the

birdhouse and pumpkin.

Another stake out greets visitors

as they come to sit awhile and chat.

More of my handywork. The birdhouse is

one my Husband made just for me.

Pumpkins I painted. They look cute, I think, on my

fence it faces the road so people can see them when

they drive by.

More decorations on the fence.

More of my Pumpkins. I liked painting cute one not the

scary ones.

Ghosts on the same fence. The one holding the pumpkin

is waving to the people as they pass by.

The large ghost is now joined by a smaller one waving

away all the day and night.

Scarecrow, wind sock, and pumpkin stake out in what everyone

calls my court yard.

My little tool house (built by my husband) is always

decorated for every holiday.

Front entrance with many decoration. Some I painted and

some I purchased at yard sales.

I even caught myself in this picture, taking the picture, I

guess I could say it is a ghostly image.

Some of my finds at yard sales . Cute when they are lit up.

I love the pumpkin, it changes colors. The little ghost when

up push in on his tummy says boo did I scare you. The

witch is a cutie. All are finds at yard sales.

The little ghost are made of wood and painted by me. The

pumpkins are more yard sale finds.

I always have candy on hand. The glass pumpkins are

filled with m&m's and hershey kisses. The orange and

black bowl (another yard sale find) is filled with mini

candy bars.

HAPPY CRISTOFORO COLOMBO DAY

CARDINALS VISIT TO BIRD FEEDER

A beautiful cardinal caught before he
started to eat.

A little fuzzy but this cardinal was

the brightest red. I had to be

careful not to scare it away that

is probably why it did not turn out

the way I would have liked it to.

I was able to catch the above

pictures of cardinals that came

to eat from one of my bird feeders

while I was relaxing on my swing

late yesterday afternoon. I enjoy

watching the different birds as they

come to eat at the end of the day.

This one I got one eating and one

patiently waiting its turn.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEANN

I want to wish my daughter,
Deann, a happy __nd
Birthday, may you celebrate
many more. Love you.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KRISTOPHER

Happy 24th Birthday
Kristopher. I love you.

WASHINGTON ZUCCHINI

It seem like everything grows larger in the state of
Washington. This zucchini was grown by my daughter.
Her garden is small but boy does it ever produce the
vegetables. She grows different types of tomatoes, zucchini,
yellow crook neck squash, and even has a couple of cantaloupe
plants. She has a green thumb like my mother had.
