Fall color on October 27 2018

Beautiful day for a fall wedding.  October 27.  I have more to share but here are a few of the countryside.  Just a beautiful day for Alex and Sydney in Stanardsville Va.

Along the way

This picture I took from the car moving fast down the highway.  Through the side window on way to the venue.
Turned out more like a watercolor.

Field - Barn at Edgewood in Stanardsville Va.

Little early and caught the wedding party taking pictures before the wedding.

More later.

Lewis Ginter Botanical Gardens

A walk through the gardens today to see the changing leaves.  Lots of beauty surrounds the property.  Genevieve went with us and lead the way.  Me as always, coming up in the rear.
Entrance to lobby

I always like to check out the gift and garden shop and the two never disappoint.

Decorating the trees and greenery has started at the gardens.  I look forward to seeing it on members night.

Not liking this that much.

Red Maples

Japanese maples near the pond

I don't know what this wispy shrub is but it sure is pretty and so soft looking

Look how soft that shrub looks in the distance.

 Beautiful peppers planted in an urn at entrance to the fountain

 Along our walk there are still beautiful blooms to see along the way

I don't know what this one is called but partial to the color, I am.

I think I like this one the best. 

A walk along the water to see and feed  turtles

Treat night

Genevieve cleaned the pumpkin out of seeds after I cut the top.  This part I do not like but she does it in a flash.    I wish Adalyn had been here but she was in school.  Both girls are going trick or treating tonight.

Not totally sure what this look is.  I do know that she said the pumpkin was soapy.  I think she means slimy but soapy is better.  Interesting how she associated that slippery mess with soapy.

She got this done in no time flat

Some little ornaments around the yard.

Lit pumpkin in my petunia pot

Miss having Adalyn in the picture, but she's in school and will be at home trick or treating.  I will try to get her picture next to it tomorrow.

I did get a picture of the girls dressed for Halloween tonight.
Happy Halloween

Good Monday Morning

Up early.  Got things to take care of today but first some good ole orange juice and a slice of quiche for breakfast.

I used 4 eggs, heavy whipping cream, half and half. Tab of butter, marbled colby and white cheese with some sun dried tomato.  My favorite spice always is dill. Oh yes, dill went in there along with salt, pepper with nutmeg sprinkled on top. 

Gosh it was good. 


Took this shot the other day of my front yard with tree shadows on the lawn. Well, I say lawn, but it's a lot of weeds too. 

Lovely watering cans spread about.

Happy Monday
