Thank you all for being so nice to a visiting Missourian.

Glenda,

Happy Autumn to you too.

Your dispkay looks great.

I put up a similar display every fall but I haven't got mine done yet.

We're happy to have you posting on this forum too! You are one of us now.

LOVE IT! LOVE IT! LOVE IT!

Thank you for sharing that! I've been itchin' to get my fall decor out but kept telling myself it was too early. But now, a fellow gardener has done it so I can too! Are those your pumpkins & stalks? wow!

Overcast & drizzling here in north Norman today. Perfect weather to inspire me to start cookin' some pumpkins and dig out those decorations. You gave me the finishing nudge I needed!

What a great Halloween day! I think it was 70 degrees. I had a lot of potted plants and fall leaves cluttering up my driveway, and today was perfect weather for tidying it up for the kids. And, because we have the new Daylight Saving time, it didn't get dark as early! I worked in the yard, with the bowl of candy nearby, and I met a neighbor/fellow gardener that way! He was driving around behind his grandkids, saw me digging, and we started talking. (In my neighborhood, a lot of people aren't home during official T or T hours, so a lot of parents will drive around to scope out a block, or drive the kids through "dead areas." Sounds spooky, doesn't it. :)

Annette, I hope you get lots done and that he does take pictures. I love seeing pictures of different areas. I broke the stem off one of the pumpkins, so I will be cooking it Monday before rot sets in. I had to pick one of the Long Island Cheese Squashes too because the bottom had split. I'm curious to see what kind of flesh it has. Supposed to be better than pumpkin........we will see. I have never grown it before. becr, we really feel like fall now that it is cooler. We even have leaves dropping and at last got lovely rain yesterday and last night. I hope the fall color is good this year.

There was a water cane(?),Retama Tree, Desert Willow and a cool penstemon(guess) growing out of only ONE grave with marble/gravel. Some of the older/dirt graves had fruit trees or Cotton wood growing out of them. The oldest grave I saw was early 18th(1700's right?) My vote is Jolana's BLOOD CURDLING screams over the huge,demonically possessed plastic spider with a bloody severed ear is the future of this story. Carol,being as sweet and innocent as she is, was unaware of any hauntings(and certainly no plastic spiders named Melvin of all things). Meanwhile, the ever brave and strong PJ killed the ghost with a butter knife and tamed the spider who is her faithful pet to this day.The End. PJ

Thank you, naturegirl! Last year, I had it on my breakfast room hutch ... it looked nice with the “flickering candle” light on next to it. :) Love this thread! I took down Halloween decor today and kept out pumpkins and other Fall things. Added a lighted grapevine pumpkin to our scarecrow/wagon/pumpkins/straw bale display outside. Several adorable trick or treaters last night complimented our Halloween decor, which earned them extra candy. :D

Yep, grew them all. You should see the Long Island Cheese squash I had to pick yesterday. I think I over watered after the dry and it is huge but was cracking. It is a pretty thing, light tan in color. Supposed to be better than pie pumpkins for pies. I will be cooking it next week so will soon know. It looks like a very ribbed flat pumpkin.

We finally got much needed rain yesterday and last night. I heard areas south got as much as 12 inches! (south Missouri).

Hope I had a bucket out somewhere.
