My sister was in town this weekend so Mother and I decided to take her to the Dallas Arboretum.I even saw a special friend there..
jenningsjunk was there with her mom and 2 cute nephews! (we always knew one day we would run into each other!)
We saw lots of things to remind us of fall..
Like a pumpkin house...
and a horse made of straw...
there were even pumpkins floating in a pond!
there was purple...
there were pinks and reds...
there was white...
and there was yellow
there were butterflies...
there were ponds,
with fish...
And there was a wonderful cottage gardenoutside a cute pioneer cabin.
It was a perfect day to spend in the garden!

Tina--and who would have ever guessed they would float?
It was a beautiful fall day!
jj-wasn't it a wonderful day! And it was so great running into you and your mom and cute, cute nephews!
Gosh, I haven't been to the arboretum in ages, this makes me want to go. I cannot believe pumpkins float!
Hi Nola--we go to the Arboretum several times a year because we live so close and have a membership. Maybe the garden bloggers from our area should meet here sometime!
Looks like you guys had a wonderful day! I love that pumpkin house and the floating pumpkins.
Also, that's a beautiful patch of asters!
Beautiful gardens to spend a day in Linda! The pumpkin house & floating pumpkins are very creative touches for the fall. Lots of beautiful blooms still too.
Susie-can you believe pumpkins float! Who knew! :)
The asters were all over in hugh mounds--they were beautiful!
Racquel there were so many touches of fall--especially with the pumpkins and gourds. It was a wonderful morning!
A pumpkin house and they float! Wow of wow! Thanks for sharing.

Glad to share the pictures Brenda!
The pumpkins were really cool!
Mom was just saying we need to visit the arboretum. I heard about the pumpkin house. Cute idea. Sounds like a great visit.

Oh Debbi, you should visit. It's so pretty this time of year. My pictures do not do it justice--there is so much to see. And all the pumpkins add so much to the fall look.
After checking jenningsjunk's blog, I suspected I would see one by you as well. You had some great photos as well. There sure were some great colors and you did a good job capturing them.
Thanks mr--it was a great day at the Arboretum!
It looks like you had a fun day with family at the arboretum. I like the photo of all the pumpkin kids playing in the shallow end of the pool. I think the only dive they'll know how to do is the cannonball.
northern shade--that's funny! Can you believe pumpkins float? And all they wanted was a good swim! :)
