Go Big Or Gourd Home

 Here is the winner of the largest pumpkin ever recorded!! It weighs 3,156 pounds. About the weight of a midsize car!!

                                       I took all the photos from the news on the T.V.

                                                      There was lots of competition.

It was not fun getting it onto a truck.

It was grown by Ron Wallace of Rhode Island and set a Guiness World Record. Here it is when it was growing in the greenhouse. It grew by 60 pounds a day!! And here I thought I was gaining weight!!

                                         Here is the proud winner with his pumpkin.

When your pumpkin has its own zip code.

Beauty Belongs Everywhere

 The city of Harrisonburg had artists paint their utility boxes. I snapped as we were driving through the city. So much nicer than the ugly bare metal and wire.

"Where wires once whispered, color learned to sing."

Sunday Sunset - Heaven's Needles

 The pattern of the sunset amazed me. I had never seen anything like it. It looked like a knitting pattern - a sweater for the sky.

"The horizon wore a knit shawl of fire, stitched by the hands of dusk."

Full Of Hot Air

 It's that time of year again. Time to bring out the huge spooky inflatables. These are not ours, but they are in the neighborhood. I think that somehow, being inflatable makes them not as scary. Especially for the little kids. What do you think? Do you have any?

"The wind fills their forms; the darkness fills their souls, and beneath the harvest moon they stand watch until dawn."

Trees Full Of Sunlight

 I've grown quite tired of waiting for the trees to turn colors this fall. I do think the leaves are turning brown and dying before they even get a chance to show their colors. So I have decided to show you some that I snapped in the past!

The Fall Porches & Yards

 These are all around our neighborhood.

This house went with all pastel

Sunday Sunset - Dipped In Tangerine

 One of my favorites just snapped recently.

"The sky put on its brightest orange sweater and called it evening."
