Fall is my favorite time of year.
The trees
turn such beautiful colors.
All the different shades of red, yellow
and brown.
Where I grew up, our town always became extra busy in the
fall.
We were invaded with people who came for the "Color Tour".
Since I
grew up with that around me I thought they were very silly.
But now that I
live further south with not as many trees I now can
appreciate what that
"Color Tour" was all about.
The end of October brings Halloween. What a fun
time of year that is.
Kids of all ages enjoy Halloween. The stores have such
wonderful
accessories to purchase for this most festive day. It just seems a
shame
that some of those decorations can't be used longer.
Pumpkins are one of the traditions of the
Halloween season. They are fun
but they are also very messing. They really
don't last very long and I can remember
my mother struggling to prepare the
pumpkins so that us kids could carve scary faces.
My neighbor has a much better way. Easier and
much more practical.
And the fact that no one stands the chance of cutting
themselves makes it even nice.
She paints pumpkins. Some are scary, some are
funny, each are unique and different.
So many of the schools are no longer allowing the
children to dress up and enjoy
Halloween parties many have opted to take the
kids to the pumpkin patch and not only
choose their own pumpkins but are now
taking them back to school to paint and then
take home to enjoy for many
weeks.
School Halloween parties have been replaced
with pumpkin painting parties.
Although I always enjoyed dressing up and
showing off my costume I am sure
that painting a pumpkin would be a fun
activity too.
I found a book about pumpkin painting it offers
lots of tips and ideas for you.
