A purple Hyacinth bean vine arched over a trellis…
These were given to me, pods with seeds to dry for next spring’s planting. After seeded in peat moss in the spring, then forming healthy plants, 2 on each side of a trellis will grow large and thick, tall also.
A beautiful assortment of pumpkins and gourds at the local farms this year is like any year when you want to do something festive and traditional for Fall– load up a wagon of your favorite picks. The one in the center resembles a face. I like the bubbles and knots on the one in the front, perfect for my window box outside for Halloween. Don’t you like the different shades and colors of orange as though each one is its own character of uniqueness?
This one can serve as a “scary pumpkin” with its stem wicked-looking.
For the porch and along the walkway… it’s sinister. I like the rotten decay of it’s appearance. I like a spoiled look, black ones too with a blueish tinge.
Corn husks for the scarecrows, for limbs sticking out of plaid shirts and black skirts.
V8’s Halloween picture, what a cool cat– he knows he is.
Skulls for cupcakes or for a gingerbread haunted house…
Cookies will be adorned with decorations.
A trio of jams from summer picking…
An inviting walk on a crisp morning beside a sorghum field… nothing screams Fall like nature.
Sorghum is not only a species of grass raised for grain but it’s an important world crop used for food– sorghum syrup, molasses, production of alcohol, and even in biofuels. Ground, sugars extracted and converted into ethanol, it serves its useful purpose outside of a food source. It’s the 5th most important cereal crop grown in the world.
These are some of the rose-colored moments of a season…
