Octoberfest- The Ultimate in Redneck Fun!

We reserve the 2nd Saturday in October every year for our girls-day-out Octoberfest in Hohenwald, TN.  This year Glen tagged along and chauffeured the ladies around.  We had a ball as always.  Here are the highlights....

Mum's the Word

You would think this post contained a lot of mums but actually there are only 3 blooming if you don't count the one I just put in my fall display!  I like to buy the 4" pots on clearance for .25 each and plant them at the end of the season.  They just seem to do better in the garden than larger pots.  I have always loved the bronze colored ones.  I have a white one that is in full bud so it should show me something soon.  Then there's always the sheffield daisies that wait a little longer to strut their stuff about mid month.  I think if it were not for mums I would have to take an antidepressant right now.  I also have some other stuff to show you.  Take a peek:

MY BACKDOOR PUMPKIN DISPLAY

FRESH TRIMMED HEDGE 

YELLOW MUM 

PURPLE AND BRONZE MUM 

STALWART MARIGOLD 

I know anyone can grow a zinnia but I'm lovin' the deep red color on this one!  Must save seed... 

Finally cleaned the garden shed so I can walk around! 

My recycled vintage yardsale napkins turned into a valance!  Those are ladybug tablecloth weights at the corners..so cute! 

I finally got a much needed break from work..they let us out at 11:00 today and I'm off tomorrow.  Plan B is to divide the daylilies that are eating my garden!!
