2015 Pumpkin Fest

My husband and I attended the Hartsburg Pumpkin Festival this morning. We like to get there early and leave early. I've been sick but I love this festival. Hopefully next year we can take our grandson with us. Here's some photos of the festival.

Fall colors

My backyard is so pretty. I love all the colors but it's been a little warm lately. I've been working on a quilt for an upcoming wedding a little less than 2 weeks away.

Kansas Troubles layer cake is the main focal fabric. 

The Moving Wall

It has been a great weekend! My husband celebrated his birthday, at the Lake of the Ozarks,
with friends. Today we went to the capitol to see the Moving Wall. The weather has been really nice too. A little warm but nice! We had a few sprinkles today, we could really use some rain!

We got to the Lake around 3 yesterday

I used to collect stamps. Would have loved these!

Ozark Ham and Turkey Festival

We could not of asked for better weather today. Temperatures in the low 70's and clear skies. California, MO had their annual Ozark Ham and Turkey Festival. My husband, my daughter, her friend, my grandson and myself had a nice time. I love all the craft booths and we had some wonderful food from El Salvador called pupupas. Pork, beans and cheese fried in a homemade tortilla topped with a slaw and salsa. Very tasty!

Folk Picnic

My sister is in town this weekend and we have had great fun. The weather has been perfect! Lows in the 50s and 60s and highs in the 70s. Yesterday we went to a Fall Festival at the Cole County fair grounds and today we drove to the tiny town of Folk to the church fall supper. Sadly tomorrow I will be taking my sister back to St Louis to catch a flight back to Maryland. Here is some photos from this weekend.
