FREDERICKSBURG AND HALLOWEEN!!!

 Heidy-Ho, Blogging Buddies!!!

I know.  Once again, it has been too long between posts.  Sigh.  Just accept my old age and sidetracking on too many other things!

Alrighty.  So... October was the semi-annual Fredericksburg Winery Run.  Have been doing it for so many years, it's become a "standard" run every six months.  But there are always pictures that are yummy (food!), pretty (landscape), and holiday-based in October.  So... going to overwhelm you with the Fredericksburg shots.  Will follow with a few local (Waco) shots of Halloween decorated yards.

First... a few Fredericksburg pics from morning walks as well as a really cool place to shop for exterior items!

Always a few houses with excellent front yards in the older 'hoods where we stay.

And... a first for our morning walks.  We see lots of dogs, cats, squirrels, along with the occasional chickens... but these guys were definitely "new" to our stroll!  They were also quite friendly and enjoyed a little petting before we continued on!  Yes... they were in the "back yard" of a corner house.

One of our favorite places to eat brunch was The Peach Tree Restaurant and Gift Shop.  It had been in Fredericksburg for 49 years.  It closed in late summer of 2019 and was certainly saddening for us.  The food was original recipes and made on-site.  It was delicious.  There were about four different items we had each time we went.  On this visit, we were told a new restaurant had opened at that location.  We were also told it had pretty darned good food!  And we were not lied to about that.  A new addition to our list is now Hill & Vine.  We thought we could share two "Shareables" which we assumed were like Appetizers.  Uh... No.  We were stuffed when leaving... and had not even eaten all of the food served!

Mushroom Toast and Smoke Carnitas Nachos... YUM!!!

Another recent fave for a quick breakfast snack is the Caliche Coffee Bar and Roastery.  We have added Avocado Toast there to our morning walk snack!  Yummy!

So... after all of this, you need to know about Pottery Ranch Fredericksburg!!  This place is LOADED with an incredible amount of indoor/outdoor items.  We always go there and wander through it because new things come and go all the time.  It is just wild.  And yes... we did make purchases.  Oh... and I didn't take pictures... but know there are THOUSANDS (yes, really) of planters of a gazillion sizes, shapes, colors... you will find anything you are hunting!

Now then... we were there the week before Halloween so there were some fun items in some yards.

Upon my return to Waco, my weekend walk provided some more Halloween shots in my 'hood!!

Alright.  If you didn't know or haven't figured it out by now... Halloween has always been my favorite holiday.  There you have it!

With Thanksgiving tomorrow, I wish you all a lovely, peaceful, yummy day!!  We will be having our "usual" Turkey Day items... Turkey Dogs, Turkey Chili, Tater Tots.  Yep.  That's the way we like it!!

Very best to you all!!  Enjoy the rest of 2021 and please hope that 2022 will improve!!  Lord knows we could use that!!

Until next post...
