Happy Birthday, Dallas Arboretum and Chihuly Glass

October was a busy busy month and I was already behind on a few things just about everything (but I was having fun!) and then I got sick - really sick.  I was sick more than a week (missed four days at my job and more blogging), but I'm finally on the mend! 

Even while I was sick a lot was going on.  For one thing, my baby girl had a birthday.  As a result, I have a question for you. 

How do they go from this

To this

So Quickly?

One of life's greatest mysteries I suppose...

As part of the birthday festivities (we're all spoiled and celebrate about a week around our house 'cause we are special) we spent an afternoon at the Dallas Arboretum where they are having a Chihuly Glass exhibit this year.  It was a beautiful fall afternoon and we saw some beautiful nature and art.  I would love to share the hundreds of pictures but I will limit it to a few dozen or so.

First of all, because it it fall there were pumpkins and fairy tales.

There were a LOT of pumpkins.
(so many that I feel sorry for the people who have to remove them)

There were beautiful plants and fall colors

And there was art

If you get a chance visit the Dallas Arboretum, it is a beautiful garden and was even more enjoyable with the Chihuly Glass Exhibit on display (through the end of the year).  http://www.dallasarboretum.org/

I overheard a little girl ask her parents, "why don't they melt?" while looking at this one.

I thought she had a valid point, they do look like ice when the sunlight reflects on them.  Have a good one!

Working for the weekend,

Laura
