Halloween Countdown # 24 – Forest

Halloween Countdown # 24 – Forest

***

We don’t have any forests around here, but I’ve been to or through three in the past.

My family took a vacation in 1970 to Red River, New Mexico. It is located in the Carson National Forest. We stayed in a cabin by a river, deep in the trees. First time I’d ever seen so many trees. We stayed a week, seeing the sights, riding the ski lift, and carving our names into the trunks of the Aspen trees.

The next forest I’ve been to is the Pineywoods which is a forest, of East Texas, over by Texarkana. My in-laws lived there, and we’d go driving around and walking around among the trees. I got poison ivy on my feet one time. Not fun, but I marveled at all the tall pine trees.

The other forest I’ve been through is the (Washita) Ouachita National Forest, which is in the Texas/Oklahoma area. We drove through this beautiful place, along many steep and switchback roads.

Can you count the trees on the full length photo? There are 4! I think they represent the four seasons of winter, autumn, spring, and summer. 🙂

This is a real pretty appliqued  fabric. It has a blue house, and blue sky, and lots of other details. There are clouds, other houses, cows, ladies in bright skirts, and trees.

I don’t really know what you’d call this. Maybe a wall hanging, or maybe a table runner? It’s about 3 feet long and one foot wide. I got it at a yard sale one time. There was a little tag on it that said it was hand crafted in some island country. Sorry I can’t find the tag today. I still have it somewhere.

I decorate this little bitty tree for Halloween every year. I put little spooky ornaments of orange and black, and also a string of lights shaped like ghosts! The tree is about two feet tall or less, and I decorate it for Christmas in December, too.

Multi-colored cloths hanging from tree branch, plus other Halloween decorations like skeletons (for Dia de los Muertos ) These were seen at a local park one year for a celebration.

This is our front yard tree – a fruitless Mulberry. It’s really big, and the leaves turn yellow in the fall. Underneath is a weathered wooden bench our neighbor built for us many years ago.

And this other photo is many years ago when our cat Paolo climbed up there. All the cats around here love the climbing tree. 🙂

One year my daughter and I were in Austin TX and visited the capitol building. It was decorated for Christmas, and in one room was this giant Christmas tree with lots of pretty ornaments.

This was our little Christmas tree, Charlie, one year. We had Charlie (yes we named our tree) for many years and had all kinds of different theme decorations.

This time we’d decided on a rock ‘n roll theme. We found cardboard decorations at a party store for a juke box, records, a fun car, and malt shop items which we hung up. The tree had pink sunglasses on top, and 50s type ornaments.  I also made black poodle dogs out of felt to put on the pink sheet the tree table had for the base. It was fun!

The photo shows some tops of trees, and a building of red and white. It is a gift shop at the Kansas City Missouri Zoo. The name of it is Treetops. There are two giraffe decorations on top of the sign, which is on top of the building, too.
