Boktoberfest

I love the fall... even though the season is debatable here in Florida. Beautiful outdoor weather, cool and dry air, bright blue cloudless skies, smells of pumpkin and cinnamon. And festivals. All kinds of events and festivals are lined up for this more bearable weather season in Florida.

My man greeted this beautiful fall morning in his tree stand (opening day of hunting season in our area) and mom, Grace Louise, and I headed over to Bok Tower Gardens for the Boktoberfest plant sale. TONS of people come out for this German-themed event and of the thousands of visitors today, I couldn't be more elated to have bumped into an old friend! We have been facebooking and playing phone tag for an entire year; what a blessing to finally connect in person! Here are some pics of Grace Louise meeting Christen's little handsome, Charlie...

As you can imagine, Grace Louise was enamoured with the fish and swans (which she called "ducks"). She thought the kids tree climbing event was pretty neat too! More than anything she just loves to be outdoors- preferably in the grass with plenty of room to roam.
