The Finest of Fall

You know there is always beauty in one’s own yard if you just look a little. The reason I say this is living in west Texas the changing of the seasons mostly just shifts from Winter to Summer and back forgetting the cool and comfortable spells known to others as Spring and Fall.  Consequently, I long for the blazing glory of orange and red leaves dancing on the branches before they glide down to the brown grass below and ultimately crunch beneath my feet. But it is just not meant to be, no matter how much I will it so. Yet this past weekend I had a taste of my dream and man did it taste divine.

While in Dallas we decided to buy tickets to the Dallas Arboretum to see the Chihuly Exhibition, but was blown away with the Pumpkin Village which is a yearly event. That is right, I said Pumpkin Village. Thousands of pumpkins and gourds of all shapes and varieties are formed into houses, displays, and beautiful intricate designs. Kids and adults alike stood amazed by both the beauty and magic of it all. The sheer man hours needed to produce such a magnificent showcase boggles the mind though the final product is so worth it.  If you live anywhere close I would encourage you to go. Autumn in the Park runs through September 22nd-November 21st and in a great venue for pictures with the family and kids or an afternoon picnic.

While Autumn on the East Coast may be a sight to behold, the snippet I saw right here in Texas satiated my longing heart with memories of colors, laughter, and of course the crunch of those Fall leaves.

About Kristi

Kristi Leeper is a lifelong lover of all things creative and crafty. She likes to touch things, dissect them, figure them out and maybe even reproduce them. Growing up in San Angelo, Texas she was exposed to small town values, but the world was always whispering in her ear to come out and play. Life has led her down a myriad of career paths such as a baker, licensed manicurist, florist, and a high school history teacher. The simple truth is she is good at all of these occupations and being good at a lot of things has served her well in life. She currently works as part-time as the Special Projects Manager for the Museum of the Southwest and for her husband keeping the books straight for the company he owns because he is simply a good boss and let’s her go to yoga whenever she wants.
