Pumpkin Time! It's that time of year where I like to put out all my pumpkin decorations. For me, using pumpkins to decorate for fall is easier so that I can use the same decorations for Halloween and Thanksgiving. That way, I don't have to re-decorate until it's Christmas Time! This year, I have decided to put a fall Tree. I have this mini Christmas Tree I bought for Christmas, and I want to use it now! But it's fall, so, I'm trying to make it fit for fall. I may need to add more to it. I got the decorations from the local dollar store and my granddaughter Olivia  put "Fall Bears" underneath it! Oh, I'm getting excited for the Holidays! Can't wait.  My Fall Tree

Bucket List # 56  : Grape Stomping and Going to a Harvest Festival.   I finally did it!   This is something I have been wanting to do for a long time.  For centuries, stomping grapes was the universal method used to extract juice from the grapes. Lots of grape varieties thrive in the heat of the Texas Hill Country, including Mourvèdre, Grenache, Touriga Nacional, Tinta Amarela, Sangiovese, Petit Verdot, and Albariño,   but the big favorite is the Tempranillo.   Grapes Ready To Be Mashed Chiming Belle Stomping and Smashing Grapes Enjoying the Grape Stomp

 Labor Day, Great time to take one last dip before the weather cools. Labor day is one of my favorite holidays to take a final dip in the springs before the weather cools. The water in the springs is naturally cool, but if feels so much better on a very hot day! We also had a pic-nic lunch. We ordered some to-go tacos from a food truck and at them after our swim. Swimming gave everyone an appetite.  At the Springs Taking a Refreshing Dip in the Water before the weather gets cooler.  Hope everyone enjoys the extra day of rest that Labor Day Brings.   Wishing everyone a Relaxing Labor Day!
