Fall On The Farm

i thought if i went looking for FALL i would snap out of my BLOG SLUMP.... this is my kitchen window this afternoon...see the candle ? i scored a couple of these from Rite-Aid ...those apples are from my tree..they are called Seek-No-Further... if you look close..that white cloth hanging over the window box is my ghost...




i risked my life to get this pumpkin....the pumpkin patch looked abandoned...nobody there today..it was dark and empty and windy and SPOOKY...just an honesty box...but the really creepy part was a man sitting in a car in the middle of a vacant pumpkin patch... what's he doing there ???? i never took my eyes off of him...but i DID get the pumpkin !!!






this is by my kitchen door... i LOVE the old Halloween blow mold in the window...he looks so great at night...i got it at the Goodwill for 25 cents a couple of years ago...and that's a black spider hanging from my old rake....





i got these about 30 years ago at an antique shop in cayucos..some man was making them...i have always loved them...





i painted this bench blue and have it under my kitchen window... click for a close-up..there is a witch on that piece of oak wood...





this was made by a lady from colorado..i used to get them at a shop in cambria many years ago....




some of my old Halloween hanging by my kitchen sink...




just look at that !!! dande's little kitty paws...getting that good late afternoon sun....

    I love Halloween and fall but we don't really get much of either down in So Cal. I'm excited to head to the south next month and lots of orange leaves :)

    Do you think it was a scarecrow in the car? That kind of activity makes me uneasy; I'd probably have given up on the pumpkin.

    So...glad Mr. Creepy didn't get you!!
    You're place is sure welcoming fall.I really love the green witch-who you didn't even mention. Is it because she wasn't visible to the human eye and only shows up on camera? Now that's a spooky thought!

    The 2nd picture from top is so beautiful! Huge pumpkin exhibition here at the castle grounds, but I haven't been yet; it lasts until November so eventually I'll go round, if only for a plate of their delicious pumpkin cream soup!

    Love that witch - so very cool! This makes me want to decorate for fall so bad! But, I feel that I need to wait until the temps stop reaching into the high 70s/80s. I need a good cool snap so I can plant some mums and bring out the decor.
