I took a break from my hectic schedule to visit the Dallas Arboretum last week. It was so pretty and fallish! Join me for a short tour...
The little cottage was cute and cozy like always..
and the giant lilies were still floating on the pond.
The water wise area was blooming and looking happy,
but the real show this trip were the beautiful fall flowers and..all the PUMPKINS!!
There were houses made of pumpkins..
There were beds bordered by white pumpkins,
and beds bordered by orange pumpkins!
There was a German cafe surrounded by hay bales and pumpkins.
Who knew pumpkins grew on sweet potato vines! : )
There were pumpkins stacked up every-where!
There is always something wonderful to see at the Arboretum-even if you just want to sit and relax.
Of course of all those pumpkins-thislittle
"punkin"
was my favorite!

Sorry Tina, blogger decided to post while I was still typing! :)
It was a good time for me to get away and relax. Adam loved the pumpkins!
Awesome. I can see why you enjoyed it so much. That little "punkin" in the last pic is the cutest of them all.
Those are fun Fall displays. Adam looks like a big pumpkin fan, so happy to be in amongst the pumpkin pile and spending time with Grandma.
Thanks Lola--Adam is sure a cutie! (And the Arboretum IS wonderful!)
Northen Shade--Adam loved climbing on all the pumpkins in the children's area. The Arboretum is always pretty, but especially in fall.
What a cutie lil punkin! :) Wow the Arboretum really goes all out for the fall season. That's alot of pumpkins, love how they used them as edging.
Thanks Racquel. Yes, the Arboretum does go all out on pumpkins. Someone said it was the largest group of pumpkins at a public garden like this. Wonder what they do with all of them when Fall Blooms is over??
What a cutie...This fall display is outstanding. I wish we had more in our area that went all out in the fall.
I'm so glad to have you back on my list.We have so much in common...even the books we love. Balisha
Balisha, I have to apologize for not commenting more. I read your blog all the time as I do others, but life has just gotten so busy lately I can't find the time (or energy!) to comment!
I love fall and everything that goes with it. To me there is such an excitement in the air--but yet a sadness at the same time. sigh...
Love, love, love all the pumpkin borders, but the pumpkin house is fabulous!
Linda that was just absolutely gorgeous ! I love seeing all those pumpkins and surrounding such a pretty place .. what a cutie in the middle of it all too .. I bet that will make the little pumpkin always remember Autumn in a wonderful memory!
Joy : )
Oh, beware of the ghosts & goblins.
Hope all is well.
