Fall scenes, plants & Mini Adventures

Grandma and I pulled out the old scarecrow, pumpkins, flags and signs!




Several weeks ago, I assembled this Festive Fall and halloween scene. Yes it was a little early, but I had to harvest the gourds from the garden (in the below picture.) I was only able to harvest some of my gourds from the garden; while my cushaw gourds all rotted from last week's rainfall. 


Grandma's flower gardens are still stunning this time of year...





After last month's trekking adventures, I began to miss being in the woods, so Ashley and I set up our hammocks by a creek. We had a little fire and relaxed; while our cats frolicked along the creekside. They're always jealous when I walk through the creek because they want to do it too but  they're afraid of the wading waters.


We also had a picnic at a state park, munching on some veggie sandwiches, chips and beer. We stumbled upon this fairy garden too...



Then, I shopped at the Amish Greenhouse where I saw another fairy garden! And enjoyed all of the beautifully scenic fall scenes displayed at the greenhouse--there, I bought a mum!




Of course, I had to peruse Lowes to see what cute Fall Flowers they had, and I found some interesting plants...

Hiking adventure Pictures

Hey all! Hope you're all some of the ones that get off work for Labor Day weekend. Enjoy it while the summer days come to a close...

I got back last weekend from some much needed sight seeing and adventure. My family and I booked a rental cabin for a weekend at the Red River Gorge in Slade, Kentucky.  




We took advantage of its hot tub and jacuzzi; and simply relaxed...

We ate some good food at the famous Miguel's and La Cabana. Perused a gem shop and a cute coffee shop.


Ashley and myself and my sister went ziplining.



And later met up with the rest of the family to do more hiking at the Sky Bridge through the Nada Tunnel. The last day, Ashley and I hiked alone to the Creation falls and rock bridge.
