Happy Halloween 2021!

Wishing you a Happy Halloween! This is a neighbourhood house all decorated. 

 

Uh Oh

 Every year at this time these wild mushrooms sprout in my backyard.  My sister had gone on a day trip to a conservation park and commented on the wild mushrooms she saw there.  I told her there were plenty in our yards!  We never eat them of course.

And uh oh, I have started on the Halloween candy!

Paint Party Friday - Fall Vignette

Welcome to Paint Party Friday.  Sharing a Fall Vignette ACEO (2 1/2" x 3 1/2") inspired by a photo I saw on a McDonald's ad.  It was for a french vanilla latte.  Happy Halloween when it comes! 

Rain's Thursday Art Date- Villains

 Welcome to Rain's Thursday Art Date's 'Villains' theme.  I chose to do an evil and 'wicked witch' ACEO (2 1/2" x 3 1/2").  Although the older I get, she doesn't seem quite so villainous these days, haha.

So maybe this evil snake would be a better villain:

Happy Halloween when it comes!

Chinese Turnips

My neighbour plucked these Chinese turnips out of his garden and gave them to me the other day.  They don't come fresher than that!  His small grandchildren told husband M they would be stopping by for candy on Halloween.  It made me realize I should have some handy.  They will just be going to a friend's place as well, not too many stops this year.

I see that I have made pickles out of these turnips in the past, but they can be cooked as a vegetable too.
 

Annual Flowers

 

These annual flowers I got from a free packet of seeds this spring have done so well in my planters.

I will have to get another packet next spring, or at least some Cosmos and Zinnias.  Over the years I have just used care free perennials but annual flowers do have their charm.  You just have to ensure they are kept well watered, in the pots anyway.  My cousin suggested that these flowers may even reseed themselves too.

In other news we turned the heater on a few days ago, it is getting cold.
