Cool. Two things I like. Pumpkins and trees in one. When I first got this home — I didn’t really like it. It seemed to scream ‘Tim Burton!’ Which is a great thing if that’s what you’re going for. But I was going for ‘warm and cozy’ and when describing Tim or his work, you don’t usually use words like ‘warm fuzzy feeling’. Then, after awhile it grew on me, and I decided I liked it. You can see it in it’s full on Burton glory in photos here.
My little piggie doorstop is cute, but Pixie would do a much better job. Don’t you agree?
It’s November, and last weekend my hometown (Minneapolis) already recieved 8 inches of snow. No thank you. Here in Los Angeles, we are enjoying beautiful weather. The trees that are going to turn, have just now turned. And it takes them forever to lose their leaves so I get to admire the color for weeks.
At the same time, my garden is still coming up roses. I do love LA’s version of fall.
Are you sick of me talking about pumpkins yet? Well, too bad because I’m not done yet. What? It’s not like I talk about them ALL year long. And I’ve only mentioned them here, here, here and here. Ok, I guess that’s a lot. Here’s a few of my fake pumpkins I keep around for that one time a year when they come out of storage, and grace us with their presence.
At the pumpkin patch, we dug around for the most interesting gourds we could find and bought them. I liked these two because they reminded me of birds. This first one looks like a duck, no? And the second one, I’m not sure. I’ll let you decide, but apparently it’s one that likes to kick back in adirondack chairs.
