Fall fun means pumpkin, cider, cinnamon, leaves, vines, gourds......you know what makes you smile. We did the pumpkin quest and hayride. Also threw in a campfire at the request of our grandson. I will show you the pictures from our adventure then I want to give you a really good recipe for a pumpkin spice cake that is delicious. I also have been busy with some craft creations so I will show the pics of them, too.
And our son-in-law also has an October birthday so this is the cake I made just for him. It is a recipe given to me by Amanda several years ago that our whole family took a liking to.....
This is my second attempt at making the stars from grapevines. I made bigger ones last year to be tree toppers. I cut my vines then wired groups of 6 together. Then shaped my star, wiring it together then wrapped in jute to cover the wire. I plan to make several to use as garland.
So, now I have shared a month worth of fun. I have more stuff I plan to do and I will share it all with you! Please share with me what you are doing, seeing, finding!
I wish God's blessings on you and pray that as we approach the season of Thanksgiving that we will all realize the abundance God has given to us through our family and each other. I am so thankful for my family and friends and most of all for the love, care, provision from my very big God!
Here we are at the farm. It was a beautiful day and lots of fun!
Posing with the pumpkins.
Picking out a pumpkin to take home was a job. Lots to choose from. All shapes and sizes!

Messy business!
Tada!
Proud of his creation.
Can you tell what this is?
Looks pretty good!
Mark has a friend with a birthday in October so we baked cupcakes for the occasion. Red Velvet. They threw a little party that included a scary walk through the woods, a campfire, including marshmallows, and lots of fun.

See my recycled t-shirts?! It was fun to do in an evening. I made two of each color. I cut 9 circles for each flower. Then backed them with felt. They will look cute pinned on my scarf or clipped in my hair or on my purse! I could even use them as bows on my gifts!
