it was a hot chocolate kind of day....

and i had some with whip cream. pumpkin fest was just that, it was chilly and cloudy and there were so many sights to take in.  we watched leaves tumble from the trees and swirl around in the chilly wind.   the fall foliage was spectacular and in the distance you could see snow on the mountain tops - indicative of what is surely to come, sooner than we will be ready for.  but for today enjoy the colors of fall.  there was hot apple cider, deep fried apples, caramel apples, roasted giant marshmallows, tents everywhere offering up all kinds of autumn goodness....

the buildings look so beautiful draped in autumn love...

it's such a quaint little town -  i just loved this old fashion barber shop.

and the clock in the center of town ...

there were messages on pumpkins for lots of people. then there were subtle messages that almost went
unnoticed. of all the pumpkins i happen to take a shot of this row. moe? surely a sign  - a reminder that it was his birthday this day...

and then if i didn't catch that sign  -   they sent us this one...

and it was the brightest rainbow i have ever seen...

and as night set in the whole town was illuminated in jack o lanterns. it was pretty amazing. and pretty crowded.

happy halloween.

love sent, xo

p.s.     m was busy, really busy :)  i didn't get to snap one picture of her.
