Autumn on Parade

My favorite day of the year! Eeeee! (That was an excited squeal. ;) )

All sorts of little creatures: monsters, skeletons, witches, rats, ghosts, crows, etc. made an appearance.  Luckily they were the handmade kind, not the real ones. Phew!

Farmers brought pumpkins, gourds, squash, and indian corn.  We met a beekeeper whose honey was there as well.  Just like any arts festival, crafters/artisans from all walks of life were there.  There was such beautiful halloween and autumn home decor.  I even bought a piece: a haunted mansion picture (I'll have to post it soon.)  And the food...yum!  We had cider donuts, a pumpkin canoli, and apple cider.  Note: the drink above in the pictures is actually a candle!  So we didn't drink that, but it smelled pretty delicious! 

I think the reason I love this day so much is just the environment.  The cool air, the leaves have changed, the beautiful decorations for sale, pumpkins tucked in between the trees and the courthouse...it's a magnificent time. <3
