Fall Pics

Today was a perfect fall day, sunny and a bit cool - in the 50's, so I visited 2 different parks here. The first pictures show the architecture of a small gazebo in Community park, followed by a picture of a larger Gazebo ( I accidently got them out of order when I loaded them) The larger gazebo has been the scene of many a wedding in this town! The picture of the small gazebo appears later.

The Canada Goose population has grown in recent days!!

New family pics from Dan and family

Franklin St in Louisville

Way too cute for words!

Too sweet!

2 years old!

Dad worked on the bedroom accessories, mom made the cupcakes - how cute is all this! His Grandma and Grandpa Eaton bought the new Kitchen/grill - that was a real hit!! I made them pillows with snaps, buttons, zippers, velcro and lots of pockets filled with toys for them to learn to do their fasteners! How 'bout them cupcakes, April worked all morning on them for the Jungle theme - they were adorable and delicious too!

Jack'o lanterns

Here is their finished product!

Kim is here..

Kim came to visit for the weekend, the kids have a long weekend due to the Columbus Day holiday. I bought pumpkins for carving, so here they are! Of course Paul , (Nicks friend since they were 3), spent the majority of the weekend with us too.

Fall scenes

Fall is falling! Everything is giving their last bit of energy to finish the season!

Monkshood

My Monkshood is blooming, that truly means the end of summer is here!

Blanket Flower

I planted this Blanket Flower from seed in the spring, the flowers are similar to the coneflower, but you can see in the end it is a ball shape, the plant did very well as you can see from the size, hopefully it will winter well and I'll watch it grow again next summer.

New Christmas Fabric

I bought this Christmas fabric in a quilt store in Shreveport when I was visiting the kids, I am looking for a pattern, anybody have any cool new patterns they would suggest? All but one of the fabrics are part of Nancy Halvorsens "12 Days of Christmas' collection, the one with the little trees is from Diane Knott "Dear Santa"

Nick and his date, Brooke, homecoming 2008

What a good looking guy!

And a good looking couple!

Those Nasturtiums!

They come in many different colors

The Bees love them, they smell like roses!

And they have absolutely taken over!

They will grow and bloom all summer, but when the cooler temps come, they just take off. I have found them climbing up shrub, they will sprawl across the lawn, it really is a sight to behold, and they smell divine. Ahhh, the simple pleasures in life!
