HAPPY HALLOWEEN

Pumpkin Time

Pumpkin time is here again,
time to play Trick or Treat.
Pumpkin time is here again,
our spooky friends we'll meet.

See the costumes we have on,
monsters, ghosts, goblins too.
See the costumes we have on,
Hear us all shout "BOO!"

FALL IS HERE

You can tell when fall is here when the fires
are burning and leaves cover the ground.

Would you believe that just yesterday this part

of the yard was all raked clean. Now look at it.



Just some of the fall colors here in central Alabama.





Some of the fall colors on our property.







More fall colors on our property.

The fall colors to me are just beautiful. This

October has been nice here in central Alabama,

cool mornings but nice warm afternoons. My

husband and I enjoy working out in the yard

when the weather is this nice.

PICNIC AT PALISADES PARK

It is another beautiful day here in Pinson, Alabama.
My husband and I decided to go on a picnic.
We ended up a Palisades Park one of our
favorite places to go. The day was warm with
a little breeze not a cloud in the sky. We ate and
then walked around the park enjoying the beautiful
day. The photo above was taken just before we got
to the park.

A close up of the same picture as above.




The entrance to the park was decorated with


mums and pumpkins.








This was some hanging Halloween things in


front of the mums and pumpkins.










More pretty mums at the entrance to the park.

LIVE YOUR LIFE TO THE FULLEST

Life is full of beauty. Notice it. Notice
the bumble bee, the small child, and the
smiling faces. Smell the rain, and feel
the wind. Live your life to the fullest
potential, and fight for your dreams.
~Author Unknown~
Have a blessed day and a great life.

PRAYING MANTIS

When I was cleaning the house, sweeping the floors,
I came across this fellow. I first thought it was
a stick but then I saw his or her legs move. I
carefully scooped him up on some paper and
placed it outside. I hope I did not harm him
while sweeping the floor. All of Gods creature
are unique and although there are some I am
afraid of I try not to harm any of them.

AZALEAS, WILDFLOWERS AND ACORNS

We take our lives in our hands when we go
outside. The acorns this year are the biggest
I seen, and when the wind blows they fall and
it sounds like gun shots when they hit the roof.
I have pictured them above compared to a quarter.

The fall wildflowers are all in bloom, this is
not a very good picture but this a purple
wildflower and it is quite pretty.



This is a pretty little yellow wild flower.





This is another purple flower that is fuzzy, It seems

like the wildflowers do real well .







These are my encore azaleas that bloom spring,

summer and fall. I even have some regular

azaleas with some blooms and they are susposed

to only bloom in the spring.

HAPPY FIRST DAY OF OCTOBER

"October's the month when the smallest
breeze gives us a shower of autumn
leaves. Bonfires and pumpkins, leaves
sailing down - October is red and
golden and brown."
