Boo!

When I went to the pumpkin patch last weekend to pick out my Halloween pumpkins, I was absolutely stunned by the variety.  It's been probably 4 years since I've been to a pumpkin patch, and the difference is almost unimaginable.  4 years ago all you saw were picture perfect pumpkins.  I didn't even know this many varieties of pumpkins existed! 


This pumpkin was the black sheep.  I was fascinated by him - I mean, he was such a dark green that he was almost black!  And he was the only one of his kind there.  


And this was the wartiest pumpkin of the lot.  (Of course I had to take him home!)


The four lucky pumpkins that I ended up getting - the warty green one, a pretty orange and white patterned one, a warty orange one, and a white one!  All so unique, and just think, 4 years ago none of these would have even been there!


Hope you have a spectacularly spooky Halloween!

Charleston



I love the flock of birds descending onto the weathervane of this church.  There's something about birds that I find immensely fascinating.  I just can't shake my jealousy at their freedom of flight.  


The perfect ending to the day?  Spending the evening with friends drinking wine by candlelight.
