Serate Autunnali…Autumn Evenings…

Still so warm here… well into the evening,  making for perfect alfresco dining.  Autumn touches on the table made by me…because nature isn't really showing much Autumn in the garden around here… Pumpkins,  my absolute favorite… I remember the excitement of rushing home from school on Halloween as a young girl,  so excited to carve the pumpkins before going out Trick or Treating.  I think that I have finally out grown my extreme love for Halloween,  although I still enjoy it,  my excitement now is more about fall,  and decorating pumpkins in ways other than the typical jack o lantern style…of course  there will always be at least one or two jack o lanterns on the porch on Halloween Night  to welcome the trick or treaters…
