We went to Natchitoches, Louisiana last weekend with our garden club. The weather was perfect - cool in the mornings, sunny and warm in the afternoons. We had a great time talking, shopping and eating.
The city did these wonderful fall decorations with mums and pumpkins. There were many of them around the downtown/river area. We wondered if they had trouble with theft, but the displays were nice and full.
We were particularly taken with the Southern slant on the traditional corn stalk bundle. They included stems of cotton with the open cotton bolls still attached.
Several of the larger displays included old wagons or carriages. It was really lovely and welcoming.
It wasn't only the city putting on a seasonal show.
Several houses caught our interest as well.
I appreciated this porch display. It doesn't look too complicated: a swag and wreath made from that net-like material which I obviously don't know the name of. Orange lights, a couple of gourds, and you're done!
We took this photo to show Connie. She is crazy for Halloween decorations so we knew she would appreciate all the ghoulish elements of this house. I liked all the spiders, but the ghost flying over the door is a really good touch.
