The Great Jack-o-lantern Blaze

This past weekend, the boyfriend and I went to the little town of Sleepy Hollow, NY.

I wanted to treat him, and myself, to the Great Jack O' Lantern Blaze.

When we got there,

they had this huge tent up, with hanging pumpkin lanterns, and spider web lighting, it had treats such as Candy Apples, Caramel Pop Corn, Pumpkin Spice, Apple Cider, etc.

 

 As you walk in the event, there are people everywhere taking pictures, no one is moving, so you are stuck waiting to see the pumpkins.

 Once we actually got a spot, it was unbelievable...

 I've never seen anything like it.

So much talent!

 

It was stop-n-go through out the whole walk.

My favorite scenes were the grave yard, the spider web with spider pumpkins, the dinosaurs, and the fish.

At the end they had another tent you could walk through, and see art.

There were some interesting pieces, people are quite creative.

The Headless Horseman of Lego's was selling for $8,500!

I'm going to save you the crowds of people and show you some pictures I was able to take.

I hope you enjoy.

I do recommend you going and seeing it in person, if you do happen to go, pay for the VIP, it would be well worth it!

 

A Good Ol' Southern Plantation

It's time to head to Pick Pocket Plantation!

In the South we have a lot of Farmer's Markets, we have one on Tuesday at Pick Pocket Plantation, we have one downtown every Wednesday, Thursday it's at a park near downtown, Friday it's in this community called Habersham, (which has been in many magazines for their beautiful houses and Market Place). Then on Saturday's there's one in Port Royal, and another one on Pick Pocket Plantation. So thankfully we have a lot to choose from-

But as of right now, I'm loving Pick Pocket Plantation.

 It's a hidden treasure in the middle of a town!

 If it weren't for the "Farmer's Market signs", you would never know it even existed.

When you drive onto the Plantation, you have fields filled with beautiful Horses, and on the other side you have Pecan Trees all in rows. As you keep going you come up to three cottages, which at one time, were slave quarters. As you drive up to the house you see two Chicken Coops on one side, and Barns on the other. Then you have the big Historic Home. In front of the home, there is a field, and that's where they have the Farmer's Market set up. Everyone there is really nice! The owner of the Plantation sells homemade Ice Cream in his old fashion Ice Cream Maker, wearing his big straw hat. His Ice Cream is truly the best thing ever, it's so creamy, nothing like what you buy from the store! There are quite a few veggies to choose from, but it's still early in the year, when summer comes, there will be a bigger variety. My mum and I got Tomatoes, Green Onions, a really yellow type of Squash (that I've never seen nor had before), and some other veggies! After we left the Farmer's Market, I had to go take pictures of the beautiful Plantation. I spent quite awhile looking at all the sweet curious Chickens and Roosters, and watched the Horses eating their lunch. I really wish I grew up on a Plantation, it would be so fun! I would just walk around all day, enjoying the fields, and sitting under the Pecan Trees... oh a girl can dream!

Somewhere Sunday

I really dislike spending my Sunday's inside, so I decided to spend my Sunday out at The Sands in Port Royal with my fun brother, and our pup, Max. It was rather cold when we left the house, but at soon as we got to The Sands, the wind stopped blowing, it was perfect! It was nice walking on the beach, looking for Sharks teeth, and other shells. It was low tide, which meant we could look underneath all the oysters for teeth. My brother wanted to have a competition on who found the most teeth, I let him win. Even though I did find the biggest! There were other dogs out on the beach, running around, jumping in the ice cold water.

 It was so very peaceful, watching the dogs run around, people feed the Seagulls, boats drive by, people searching for shells..

  We took a walk on the boardwalk, up the pier, and watched the sunset. The river was calm, not a ripple in sight. We watched all the Seagulls, Pelicans, and Herons disappear into the night sky. Instead of going back on the boardwalk, we decided to through the marsh trail. You could hear all the little crabs scatter across the ground, hiding in their little holes beneath the marsh grass. The night sky was so beautiful. I'm so glad I got to spend it with my brother, he is growing up too fast, and I want to spend as much time with him as I can, and same goes for Max, you can never spend too much time with your pup!

I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend!

I sure did!
