This is the view from my front porch.
It seems almost over night the landscape has changed for green to the rich golds, yellows, oranges and reds of fall. I love to see the hay bales in the fields ready for pick up and storage.
These are two pumpkins that were actually accidentally grown by me
at the Daisy Patch. We were given some potting soil that had a pumpkin seed in it and these are the two pumpkins we grew. I've never grown pumpkins before so it was a special surprise. Cinderella would have had a hard time using either one for a quick get-away. The bigger on is skinny for a pumpkin and the other is Oscar sized.
Another delightful surprise today was finding these very pretty and divine smelling roses blooming beside the garage. Last spring I pruned the rogue rose bush down to the ground as it had totally taken over the side of the garage and was growing under the siding. I thought I had killed it but it actually is prettier than before. Who knew?
These are just a few of the books I bought today at the Green Valley Book Fair. It is only open 6 times a year and the best time to go is the first day. These are just the cook books I bought! Some of them I bought for Christmas gifts but it was so much fun! We also went to the public library and got some travel book on Boston. We are talking about going to Boston for my birthday and I just heard today that there is a train that goes from Charlottesville to Boston. Doesn't that sound romantic?
Last but not least.....my guilty pleasure! I found out that I can eat 26 Candy Corns made with honey for 140 calories. Who Knew? I love these things .
Hope your day had moments that made you smile.

Boy! THIS was like TWO Friday Fave 5's in a row! You have really had a great week!
I would have absolutely SWORN there was a HOUSE across the street from your front porch. What is wRONg with MY brain?
Daisy... ONLY YOU could accidentally grow a pumpkin! I would LOVE to - that would be such a FUN surprise! But no... only YOU. That was a little gift God saved just for the craziest Daisy in the patch!
Yea... I don't know MUCH about gardens and flowers - but my father raised roses - TONS of roses - and I DO remember him choppin' those bushes back to almost nothin' a few times! Probably the best thing you ever did for that bush!
Sure do wish I'd been at that Book Fair with you! GOOD times!!! And gOOd BUYS!
Daisy, the view from your porch is beautiful!! God sure did give us some "purty" scenery in this world! You and I are blessed to both have a great view of His creation.
Your pumpkins are adorable and the roses....to die for!
Thanks for sharing your surprises with us.
Love you and appreciate you SO much!
