When the rain went away it was replaced by warm fall days as what Texans call a "cold front" passed through. We love those cold fronts and so do the bees and butterflies.
Each day the garden is filled with them fluttering by on the still air.
Here is out new little butterfly, our granddaughter Ananya, in her third week of life. She can't help but learn about butterflies as her room is filled with them.
This beautiful mobile, made by a friend, hangs over her crib. It is exquisite, with birds and butterflies dancing overhead.
On Sunday we all went out to the Dallas Arboretum. The gardens were decked out in fall colors with pumpkins like you have never seen.
The summer plantings have been replaced by fall mums.
The leaves are turning but will never reach the fall intensity seen in northern gardens.
Our grandson, Savar, made friends with the armadillos.
And enjoyed pushing around the pumpkins that were floating in the water.
Children flocked around the pumpkin house which was surrounded by all manner of colored pumpkins. Weren't they all orange at one time? It was a glorious day to be out with the family.
