Rainy Day Vineyards

In honor of my friend Sean Scott and the one year anniversary of his passing, I wanted to show you all the mustard flowers that are beginning to pop up here in the wine country!

2 Weeks Until Halloween! Crafts and Color Changing Leaves Galore!

In the few free minutes I've had lately I've been crafting away! I created some Halloween Glass Jars and some Witches Potion Ingredients!

I've also been trying to catch some of the beauty of the beautiful trees as their leaves change colors and the rain that was pouring down the first half of the week (It's bright and sunny now!)

Halloween "lanterns"!

The tea light inside is a battery operated one so I don't have to worry about walking away from it.

The "Potion Ingredients"!

(From left- poisinous catipillar, witches sticks, skelliton hands, bat fur and toxic potion)

I've already gathered up a few other ingrediants that I havn't packaged yet such as freeze dried spiders and mummy wrap!

The changing leaves!

The "raindrops on roses".

More Fall Tree Leaves.

Aren't they beautiful?

Hoping your weekend is full of excitement!

Happy Fall!!

Happy Fall!

This is such a wonderful time of year! I love the summer but I really enjoy all the changes that fall brings. I'm excited to see Fall here in the wine country for the first time! So far, each season has brought such uniquely different and yet wonderful beauty!

Last Fall I was living in Virginia, enjoying being in a place where, for the first time (well for me anyways!) I got the immense pleasure of watching the leaves turn every color imaginable and then drift gently, floating through the air as the leaves began to fall. Ahh, and the perfect crisp, crunching sounds of feet walking through the piles of leaves on the ground.

Walking to class today I passed a tree and saw these beautiful leaves where the sun's rays were shining through the branches, lighting up every vein from above.

Today I also got the incredibly smile causing surprise when I went out to the backyard and found that the sunflower's (that Eva gave me the seeds for) first bloom opened up!

It's going to be a wonderful Autumn!!
