Sunday Sunset - Pastels
“In a world of black
and white, be the pastel color.”
“Pastels are like
whispers of color, soft spoken yet powerful in their ability to evoke
emotions.”

The Old Swing
About two houses up from us, this house has the prettiest fall decorations out front. They hung pumpkins all over their huge tree.
But my favorite part of this is the big old swing hanging from the tree. They put an orange throw and a big pumpkin on it. Wouldn't you just love to sit there?
Here is the front entrance of the house.
The Last Push
Push me one last
time,
Before the sun bids farewell,
Swing me into dreams.
“Swinging on a swing takes you back
to those carefree moments when time seemed to stand still, and all that
mattered was the wind in your hair.”

Come Shopping!!
Do you belong to Costco? We recently went, so come with me and see some of the unusual things they had. No, I did not buy any of them. We were looking for medicine. The greeter at the door was all dressed up in a costume! I asked her why, and she said it is just to make people happy, because it is right before the holidays. I was glad to hear they didn't actually MAKE her.
Whoops! I think she caught me!! Anyway, right inside the door, what else but more giant decorations. The teddy bear was so huge that I could not fit him all in the photo no matter how far away I got!
This was a strange creature. Apparently, a Disney character.
And look! Mona Lisa Legos!! I bet they cost a pretty penny.
Poinsettia Legos, too.
Time to go. O.K., I admit I bought a box of cookies.
I’m sort of
like Costco. I’m big, I’m not fancy and I dare you to not like me.

Switcharoo
You may remember when I posted my big and small flags in the front of the house. They were so bright! So I swapped them with some others I have. I like these better. Here is the big one.
And here is the small one.

Again With The Giants!
My last post showed you some of the giant decor inside the stores. Now here are the giants outside. More room to be even bigger!
And just so I can leave you with something pretty, here are some of the trees we passed today.

Giants Among Us
The theme for all the Fall and Halloween decorations this year seems to be GIANT. Everything, both inside and out, is gigantic! These are photos I took during one visit to Ross.
These stuffed pumpkins were enormous! I was tempted to buy one of the smaller ones with pearls on it.
This crystal spider would hardly fit on the shelf. It was the size of several breadboxes.
I thought this crystal pumpkin was gorgeous! But what would I do with it and where would I put it?
Enormous bells. Some were so huge they would not fit on any shelves and had to be displayed on the floor!
A Political Halloween
Some people around here are combining their Halloween decorations with their voting signs! I guess it is one way to make people look! I like...
