I received my invitation 3 weeks ago. I eagerly anticipated the great reveal. I invited my friend Cynthia to go with me. Last night we attended. Roger's Gardens closes one of their shops on their property and decorates is for Halloween and sells everything in it. I see it every year, but this is the first year that I have attended the "Premier". The theme is Mortemer's Basement. We arrived at 5:00pm only to find quite a line to wait in, but it went fast and was mostly in the shade.
The fun started outside with these haunting urns filled with grass and white/green pumpkins scattered about.
The entrance was covered with stone and had this spanish mossy stuff hanging down. You can buy the fake spanish moss. Everything you see is for sale.
They had these new spider webs that you can make using a glue gun type of machine and a compresser. The webs looked so real.
For all you doll lovers!
I loved this laboratory. It was bubbling and sounded great.
These guys have always creeped me out!
They had really great ideas using old doors, stairs, trunks, etc. Things you would find in your basement. People were snapping up things left and right. Scary halloween music was playing. Music from movies, like Cape Fear, Halloween, What Lies Beneath!
This was nestled among cactus and other weird plants.
Halloween ornament tree.
Very unusual Orchid. I couldn't find the name of it anywhere!
I'll have more tomorrow on the great pumpkin patch they had.
Roger's Gardens has a beautiful display of pumpkins this year. All different colors and shapes. Beautifully laid out with grasses. 
You just feel so warm and comfortable when you see these harvest colors, they bring peace to your heart. 
I loved the white and green display. So different from the norm. They had these pumpkins paired with gray, green and graygreen grasses. Amazing.

The Handsome Husband has invited me to go on a business trip with him back east at the end of Sept. I am very excited about this. I've always wanted to see the fall foliage back east. I know it is a little soon, the height of the season being Oct., but I'm hoping we will be lucky. We are going to drive up to Vermont and go on a Covered Bridge Tour (in our own rented car). My problem is hotels rooms. Almost everything is booked solid. 
I'm excited and looking for hotel/bed and breakfast rooms every chance I get. Praying for an early turning of the leaves!
These were some of the great balconies and windows that we saw in Venice, Italy. I love the textures, colors, and shapes.
You can just feel the "lived in" nature of these pictures. Personality explodes from them. So beautiful.
What's up with this statue? It was right outside our hotel in Barcelona. I don't quite get the sexy giraffe thing. Different, would'nt you say?
