Happy Halloween

This guy was waving to me from the Halloween store in the mall.

More pumpkins

My grandkids and I visited three different pumpkin patches this weekend and had lots of fun!

Just hanging around

I spotted this debonair guy in a pumpkin patch over the weekend and he let me take his picture.

State Forest

Iron frying pans and other cool stuff

After taking yesterday's picture, I turned around and saw this interesting collection hanging on the outside of someone's house. Those iron frying pans remind me of my grandmother. She used to cook in them all the time and I even have one that belonged to her that I still use every once in awhile.

Empty

Although the sign says it's the "home of Cal's Tupelo Honey", this building is sitting empty near downtown Havana. I liked the way it looks.

Ice cold soda in the bottle

Now this is the way we drank our soda back when I was a kid. We bought these drinks at Havana's General Store and they sure were good! I even taught my grandson how to blow air across the top of the bottle and make it sound like a foghorn.

Just one more...

I couldn't resist! This guy is located across the street from the one I showed yesterday. My grandkids really liked this one.

Hot Dog?

One of the things I like about Havana are these cute little pieces of art located in random spots downtown. Last year I posted a picture of another one here. I had to be careful taking this picture because it is located on the side of a building right on main street and I didn't want to get run over!

Save the Tata's

I couldn't resist taking a picture of this display in front of one of the buildings in downtown Havana. As you probably already know, October is breast cancer awareness month.

SkyWatch Friday

Last weekend I took my grandkids to the annual Havana Pumpkin Festival. We love going to this event every year and the weather was certainly cooperating because it was a beautiful day! To see more wonderful skies from around the world, don't miss SkyWatch Friday.

Pumpkin Faces

My two oldest grandchildren made their own pumpkin faces this past weekend at the Pumpkin Festival in downtown Havana. Havana is a small town just north of Tallahassee.

A little break....

I want to apologize for not posting regularly or visiting and commenting on my favorite blogs lately. I am retired, but find that I am working harder than ever taking care of my grandchildren. I can't seem to get out and get pictures for my blog as easily as I could before. The two older ones are 8 and 4 years old and attend school during part of the day, but the little one is not quite 3 months old and he is taking up most of my time, in a good way! I am really enjoying this new phase of my life, and I appreciate all of my blogging friends so much. I ask for your patience while I try to strike a healthy balance with my new responsibilities and my blogging activities. Happy weekend!

Water World Wednesday

Even though it is officially fall, there is still quite a bit of green around here. This is the lake at San Luis Park. Visit Water World Wednesday to see more beautiful watery shots from just about everywhere.

Taphophile Tragics

These three Civil War era graves are located in Old City Cemetery near downtown. This cemetery was established in 1829 and is the oldest public cemetery in Tallahassee. Only the marker in the front of the picture bears the name of the person buried here, while the others are simply marked "C.S.A." which stands for Confederate States of America. There is a section on the opposite side of the cemetery where Union soldiers are buried. To see more interesting cemetery pictures, visit Taphophile Tragics.

SkyWatch Friday

The sun had almost disappeared behind the trees when I took this picture while watching my grandson's baseball game. To see more beautiful skies from around the world, don't miss SkyWatch Friday.

Taphophile Tragics

The plaque at the bottom of this grave marker in Roselawn Cemetery explains that the organization "Woodmen of the World" was an important part of this person's life. To see more fascinating cemetery shots from around the world, be sure you visit Taphophile Tragics.
