Day Two Hundred Eighty Five 2011

My grand peeps, Shelby and Elijah, spent the day with me today. They are on the last leg of their Fall Break. Here are the two artists at work, creating Halloween pictures.

After lunch, we went on a quest to acquire mums and more pumpkins (you can never have too many pumpkins) and some strings of orange Halloween lights for their mom. We were successful as you can see by the stuffed trunk of the Granny Mobile.

We bought some new creepy Halloween gummy type stickers for the front door and dug out the old ones from last year.

They enjoyed placing the stickers in just the right spots.

And as you can see they did a great job decorating my front door. Festive and yet spooky, yes?

We spent the whole afternoon outside. It was a gorgeous day for jumping on the trampoline……

…..and catching leaves as the wind brought them down in a shower off the trees.

I added a couple of orange pumpkins and purple mums to my Autumn porch display. The scarecrow seems to like it.

I really enjoyed spending the day with two of my most favorite Peeps! Love those smiles!

Change is a measure of time and, in the autumn, time seems speeded up. What was is not and never again will be; what is is change.

Autumn! What’s not to  love?

Day Two Hundred Eighty Two 2011

Here’s my personal pumpkin patch on my front porch. I think I need a big tall orange one to go with these. And mums. I definitely need some mums. And Indian corn. My stuffed scarecrow guy is still in the attic. Is it just me, or are the days whipping by? Autumn always goes by way too fast. If I’m not careful, I’m going to miss it.
