Fall Outdoor Picnic

Fall is a wonderful time for a garden party, though much of the foliage is dying back the air is so crisp and there are no bugs.  Enjoying a glass of wine in the evening amidst the lights above the pergola...perfect!  The photos will begin with an afternoon I shared with my friends sipping hot spiced cider, donuts and enjoying each others company.  I hope you enjoy the photos.


 I love this chandelier and decorated it is so charming. 





 I found this green table on my travels in Gaylord Michigan and painted some chairs to match. For
extra seating I added a couple of hay bails and covered them with wool throws.



 It never gets old hay bails,pumpkins and mums.
 giant rabbit in the center.




This is my favorite color mum- at least for now.



 Looking through the roses.



Shes keeping an eye on things...




Colored bottles with mums



Red Wagon with mums and Ivy



A treasured garden sculpture that never eats my flowers.



Under the lights




Through the roses at dusk
