Fall Festival at the Botanical Gardens

The last of the warm, fall weather was today; cold, fall weather arrives this week. It was a perfect day to be outside at the botanical gardens. 

I anticipated pumpkin houses dotting the garden landscape. 

I anticipated fall flowers at every turn.

I thought mums would be planted in every corner of every bed.

But I didn’t anticipate a pumpkin mum. Beautiful! 

Today the gardens also celebrated El Dia de Los Muertos so we stopped at the food trucks and had empanadas, conchas, agua frescas, and a spicy pear margarita. Perfection!
