Apples and mums

Nothing says fall than mums and apples, (okay, pumpkins too), but today I don't want to talk about pumpkins, I want to show you some mums from my garden

I don't know how this happened, but I have red and yellow mums coming from the same plant.

We picked these gorgeous apples last weekend in Washington, right from the tree, they're delicious too.

I love how versatile mason jars are, you can do so much with them, even paint them.  I will be painting some for my front entrance on Halloween.

 

Wishing you all a great weekend!!!

French word of today:
Apples = Pommes

    Hi Ido!
    Are the apples Delicious apples, besides being delicious? ;]

    Lovely setting and, yes, it's nice to not always see pumpkins in relation to fall.

    Wow! Those mums are gorgeous Ido...love the deep red color. And what a pretty picnic setup you have there. Oui madame, I agree, we should partner up and open a "french" theme cake shop. It'll be a hit!
