Happy Fall

I don't mean Happy Fall as in that is what may happen when walking up my walkway to my front door. You have no idea how much these vines come alive. It's like they wait for you to slowly step over and pass and then they grab you.  So Happy Autumn instead.  Pumpkins up my walkway. It's how we garden around here.

Success in our Garden

We have these beautiful pumpkins growing under our front window.

The color and beauty of the season has popped out of these.

I love that the boys worked on this garden all summer.

Can this little boy just for once NOT be so dang happy? Of course I do not mean that, but Emerson is just the perfect 5th child when it comes to easy going and happy.

We have been in our new house for three months now. I was very excited to take the space under one of my front windows to plant the most beautiful flower garden. With three little boys helping they decided what was going in our front window along the front walkway to our front door. I must say at first I was the grumbling mother giving in. I did ask them what they wanted to plant. However the conversation of the massive pumpkin plant strung up and down the walkways along the sides and then the production of these huge pumpkins has created a daily stir.

We did find a sign which was appropriate, and each day the boys take turns with the watering can., moving the sign around, touching and hugging each pumpkin, and then smiling really big. One bag of seeds was released at random, and I did not even know what it was, but behold these beautiful whatever you call'ems. They fit perfectly with our pumpkin patch. So I would say our first plantings have proven successful indeedy!!!
