A trip to Tolay Lake Regional Park and an evening of pumpkin carving.



It gobbled right as I snapped this.

Isabel's. It's a crazed pumpkin with a carving knife chasing after a frightened mini pumpkin. Note that the carving knife has a piece of pumpkin stuck on it!

Gabriel left me this sweet message in the backyard this afternoon, after washing off our muddy shoes and the dog's paws!

It's time for El Día de los Muertos!

We love our town's lively celebration of remembrance. To celebrate this well-loved cultural holiday artwork and altars are exhibited in the Arts Center and throughout the city by more than 70 local businesses.

The kids and I teamed up with our neighbors again this year and created our 2nd annual window display. This year's theme is River of Lives.
