October Fun

2 weekends ago, Andrew, Levi and I went to the Pumpkin Festival in town. This 1st photo is at the park across from the church. These are pumpkin displays from area businesses and organizations.
This is "The Great Pumpkin Wall".Here were a few cutely decorated pumpkins from area grade schoolers. I thought the nieces and nephews might enjoy seeing these: This man carves pumpkins in to funny faces.I also wanted to update you on the garden. We finally got 1 melon. Not too big but oh well, it was edible. The rest of the plant died due to lack of water and then a cold snap.
Bell peppers have survived so far as well.

The carved pumpkin faces are brilliant.

That actually looks like a pretty good melon that you grew! I've never had success with melons, so I am impressed. The pumpkin festival looks like a fun event. That's nice about a small town, lots of "in the park" events.

I love fall festivals! Those were some pretty awesome pumpkins. The kids liked the photos.
Good job on getting a melon. We tried pumpkin/watermelon/canteloupe and got nada. Stupid squash bugs!
