"October is the year at rich maturity,
a happy woman arrayed in festival dress
and ready for a dance with a giant come down from the hills
attired in a red, red shirt,
buckskin pants and moccasins beaded with frost."
Hal Borland in Sundial of the Seasons
These pictures of our granddaughters with our son and daughter-in-law at the pumpkin patch
make me so happy! Aren't Nora and CC getting to be such big girls? And doesn't Wallace look fabulous in her festival dress and her new hairstyle after donating 9 inches of her beautiful hair?
Defee just returned from filming the next episode of Farmhouse Life for HGTV. I'll let you know when the new season airs. He sure loves his job, almost as much as he loves his three girls!
I hope your October is a beautiful one!
"October is a brisk wind in the treetops,
a whisper among crisp leaves,
a breath of apple cider,
a gleam from a jack-o'-lantern,
and the echo of laughter under a full moon."
Hal Borland
Hi Dewena! I've been on vacation, so just checking in. Your pumpkin patch pics are so colorful; nice looking family there. I'm glad you've been enjoying Miss Read. I read two over vacation, but now have to tackle a big nonfiction book, Five Days at Memorial (hospital that treated Hurricane Katrina victims) for my book club. It will be a little heavier going. And I will have to check out your previous post. Where do you get the orris root?
ReplyDeleteps I've looked for orris root online in the past, but only have found the powder.
ReplyDeleteHi Deborah, I should have put that the orris root is the powdered form. And I found it at Whole Foods.
DeleteLovely quotes...
ReplyDeleteLovely photos...
Gorgeous daughter-in-law. So tiny and so pretty. Can certainly see how the two of them, produced such lovely children.
Hugs and magic,
Tessa

Oh my gosh Dewena, your grandchildren are adorable!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos. :-) I love your quotes.
ReplyDeleteLovely family, Dewena. Sounds like your son has a dream job. We don't have cable, so unfortunately I can't watch the show :(
ReplyDeleteThe little ones are adorable!!!! Enjoyed the photos too!
ReplyDeleteThe "grands" are just so beautiful...such a gorgeous family and I know you are so proud of them. They look like they are having such a great time in the pumpkin patch!! Love and hugs to you!
ReplyDeleteThe whole family is so lovely, Dewena!
ReplyDeleteI just bet your son's HGTV program is not available in Canada:>(
The show sounds like one that I would love.
Such beautiful children, and great looking parents. What fun, picking out pumpkins in a big patch like that.
ReplyDeleteOh Dewena, I just love these pictures. Your family looks like they are having a blast enjoying the season and all that it brings. I try to go to the pumpkin patch every year, even though the kids are all grown hehehe. Your daughter-in-law's dress is so pretty, and the colors are perfect for this outing at the pumpkin farm. And the picture of the girls with their dad is a treasure, for sure.
ReplyDeletelove, ~Sheri

ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely family you have, Dewena. And such a magical scene in the pumpkin patch. I think your granddaughters would enjoy dancing with a giant.

Norah is right in her element! Look at that excitement and energy and expertise amid the pumpkin patch?!! Cici is surely a fast learner, and will definitely follow in her big sister's footsteps, already taking her first on that fence to get a closer look at how things are done! How fitting that her pretty mommy is dressed in such fabulous fall attire, too, orange and black and beautiful!

Your granddaughters are precious! Beautiful shots of your family, Dewena! Looking forward to hearing when Farmhouse airs!
ReplyDeletelove the photos and such cute kids! I need to watch this show - sounds like something I would love. I love that she donated her hair. My granddaughter who is 10 grew her hair really long and then had it cut short so she could donate it.
ReplyDeleteNora is always ready to dance
