Fall's Has Arrived!
Greetings from the Pumpkin People

Pictures of things around my Fall Garden




Not a Great show on these Monatauk Daisies, but there is a couple of weeks to go before the heavy frost gets them. They were beautiful the last few years, I think I over pruned in the spring. I think this year, I will prune them back after they bloom, in 1st or 2nd week of November

Ewhhh.... :( They birds had a Feast! What's left of those beautiful Sunflowers of Summer....oh I miss those summer daze already!



Hard to believe they once look vibrant as this!

Not much left in my Suburban Garden...some thyme, sage, apple mint, allsymm, snow in the summer...well, if what they predict is true...we will sure have "Snow in The Winter" Here in the beautiful state of Michigan!


Wait...there's One Last Strawberry to pick! I couldn't believe it, but I picked this last strawberry last week when I took these pictures , What do ya know!:D A tasty surprise!


Well nothing left to do but get the beds ready for next seasons beauty and plant bulbs

I usually go all out for Halloween Outside, but, now that my Kids are grown and not around as much, I am not that interested in decorating with lights and all. But, the Inside seems to be another story...I have had my Halloween Table Display for a couple weeks now.
I will show those pics on my next post

Happy Fall to Ya All!

I've Got My Eye On You!



I Wanted to share this... looked-up...I don't know why, but, there he was! I haven't seen one of these prehistoric insects in years, and there it was, I think it's called a praying mantis, right there on my living room transom window looking right down at me! As I took these pictures, he actually, moved his head, and looked down at me...I hope you can see him better when you enlarge the picture.




See How His Head Is Turned Now..? Looking right at me!

A few weeks ago, I was feeling a little down, as I walked into the living room, I happened to look up, I saw this large creature, I pulled a chair over and climbed up unto it to get a closer picture, a thought came straight into my head... I'm there for you...watching over you...your not alone! Now, looking back, why would those thoughts come into my head.? I hope you don't find me nutty;D, but, I really believe that all the creatures large and small, are God's watchful eyes letting us know that he is here for us.
God must have known I needed to know he was there, and he was watching over me.

Have you ever experienced anything like this?

I needed that reminder, and it truly gave me comfort

Blessings and Happiness to you!

Christine
