We found really nice Mums and Gourds at the Farm & Garden Station here in nearby Ivyland, Pennsylvania. Not too far from here out old Almshouse Road in (depends on your source of infor­mation) Ivyland or in Warminster, Pennsylvania. I notice the same problem with Tanners in the web look-ups. The shots that I have here were done on October 10, 2009 in the afternoon. The tracks were quiet but the New Hope & Ivyland Railroad crosses near the property — hence the name “station”.  It was a nice day and my wife Sue wanted to go bring home some Fall decora­tions.  So that was exactly what we did.

The shop there had a couple Enormous Pumpkins on display. If you guessed the weight of the large one inside you could win it. Then you would have to figure out exactly what you were going to do with the rotting hulk and seeds… Clever. The store at the Station doesn’t really have a great deal to sustain it during the winter months. It gets pretty darned quiet around January there but each Spring they continue to be a good source of Mother’s Day plants and flowers. Lots of nice hanging plants. Anyhow I enjoyed bringing my camera and catching the color and light patterns. Here I’ll share them with you in a little NextGEN Gallery. Incidentally the NextGEN Galleries are very compatible with CoolIris and it makes a nice little slide show of the images.

Sue Beauchamp and I celebrated our Second Wedding anniversary just this past Monday, August 31^st Two Thousand & Nine

What a nice time we had. We went for a walk in New Hope and looked at galleries and then we went out to dinner. Unfortunately we had to rush home to the girls as there was school the next day. Our anniversary is the thirty first and that was the first day of school in the Council Rock Schools. We went past the Restaurant 552 where we were married by the Mayor of Newtown and they are out of business. A sign of the times I suppose. On our walk we saw quite a few places that are now out of business.

The Sunflower was our wedding theme also. When our anniversary came there had to be Sunflowers. Lots of Sunflowers. Interesting flower. With all those seeds — it’s amazing that they aren’t growing every­where. Big changes on the heels of Hurricane Bill. After the storms and rain it just seems like Summer gave up. There is a chill in the morning and the days are getting shorter quickly. It’s going to be a good fall. Apples and pumpkins are just around the bend. Looking forward to it. I look forward to most things these days.
