Since we love Halloween, we’re going to start getting in the “spirit” with this colorful centerpiece on our table this weekend. Over the weekend, we’re going to get the decorations and the rest of the preparations ready for the little spooks headed our way on October 31st.
Culture
Hibiscus
Since we had network problems today, Cap’n Bob was not able to finish his article as planned. So, he asked me to post a flower photo.
There are over 200 varieties of this lovely flower. It is the state flower of Hawaii and the national flower of South Korea. This golden hibiscus was growing in a pot at a nearby home improvement center.
Fall Squash at Farmer’s Market
This is a nice picture of a selection of squash for sale at our local farmer’s market. They make a decorative addition to a holiday table or centerpiece.
The Damsel Express
Damsel is just so damn cute when she shoots her 20 ga. Remington 870 Express®. I think she likes it a lot.
Fall Colors 2nd Amendment Style
Notice the lovely orange and black design – with some white holes near the center courtesy of my S&W 908 9mm semi-auto pistol. Range art can be so nice on a good day.
And More Fall Colors Yet
This week’s flower arrangement features these bright orange sunflowers. Yes, they’re dyed, but they fit right in with the change of weather and fall season.
The Colors of Autumn
About this time of year, our grocer stocks a variety of fall squash, including these that make a colorful picture, emphasizing the colors of fall. We’re planning to purchase several varieties as we get closer to Halloween for table decorations to be displayed up until the time we change from Thanksgiving to Christmas.
