I was back out at the Triad Farmer’s Market and this is what I saw. Put me right in the mood. The mood for Fall.
A beautiful day. And I picked out two pumpkins.
When I came home I couldn’t help but pull out some more decorations.
The wreath is on the door and the candy corn is on the table in the foyer.
I even put out fresh candy. I have to confess that sometimes I have been known to save last year’s candy corn and put it back out early in the Fall of the next year. If I didn’t do that my kids would devour it all within the first few days. So I started putting out the old candy corn and it worked like a charm. The kid’s would taste it and think it wasn’t all that good and so my corn would last a long time. Then right before Halloween I would swap it out with a fresh bag. Well, the kids are older now and hardly ever at home. So I think it’s safe to put out the new stuff early in the season. I am living large this year with a fresh bag in September!!

Okay, that is a great idea! I don't eat candy corn so you would be safe with me there:)
Just happened to find your blog. I love the veggie pictures and the Farmers Market, NEVER heard of Cowboy Candy but will try it!! Nice posts. Hello from Michigan.
These photos are wonderful! They remind me of another blogger friend who takes great photos. You might enjoy her blog too. http://sheilaslens.blogspot.com
Boy, wish I could stage my backyard to look like the market - with all the hay bales and pumpkins. I can see why you got in the mood for fall decor.
Lisa, that is INGENIOUS about the candy! I am so remembering to do that. I wonder if it will work with M&M's too . . . ????
Beautiful picture of all of the pumpkins! It can't help but put you in the mood. I loved the one someone drew a face on.
Cute story about the candy corn...live large my friend....live large!!

Lovely :) I'll have to start looking around here for some, we used to have tons in MD, but in TX they all seem such a drive too far for us.
Love the pumpkins, Lisa! My daughter wants us to go pumpkin picking with my granddaughter {she's 9 weeks old}! The problem with the candy corn is that I am the one in our house that eats it. I went crazy when I found out Tuesday Morning carried a Valentine's Day variety ~ I ate that, too! :)
The old candy idea would not work in my house. My daughter would still eat it. She has such a sweet tooth.
