It is good to be back after a four day break. We spent a wonderful time of rest and relaxation with my mom, siblings and their spouses. We were enjoying time spent in the mountains together. Fall was beginning to show it's beautiful colors along with other signs of the upcoming season.

Recently my granddaughter and I discovered this sign as we were driving on some country roads near her home.

Of course we wanted to explore what was up the long winding driveway. Should I say I wanted to explore, but we both were happy with what we found.

All the necessary items for decorating for the newly arriving season, if you choose to do that. I was never big on outside decorating although I appreciate those who do.
I thought it a bit steep to see what they charged for corn stalks:) Overall though, the prices were quite reasonable.

I pictured the cornstalks tied to the lampposts in the neighborhood.


What fun it was for her to sit in the big old wooden wagon filled with pumpkins.

Many shades and hues of pumpkins.

Inside the barn were many different displays of pumpkins, guords, hay, corn stalks, and flowering mums.


I found it interesting to read all the labels.

Quite appropriately these little numbers were called Turk's Turbans. Did you know that?

She liked sitting on the hay bales...

...and throwing hay into the air without anyone telling her not to.




The young mother who ran this operation certainly had an artistic bent. The displays were so creatively done. I was impressed with the huge variety of pumpkins and ghords that they had grown.

The biggest pumpkins were displayed in front of the barn doors. I was thankful that I had discovered the decorated sign at the end of the driveway.

As we drove down the driveway of this country farm, I could not help noticing beauty everywhere I looked, including...



...this peaceful scene we discovered across the street from the pumpkin sign. We spent a few minutes sitting and watching the creek.

It is good to back in blogland. I look forward to catching up on my blog visits when time permits.

I want to thank my daughter for helping me to update my blog decor. I sure do appreciate her computer expertise.

I also want to tell you that we are eagerly looking forward to the birth of our next little granddaughter. She will be the first for our middle daughter and her husband.

Thank you for your visits, your comments, and your friendship. It means so much to me.
