Pumpkins Galore

The NYBG had another great pumpkin showcase! Once again, they reimagined how to display the varieties of gourds throughout the garden, and it was so wonderful.  

The giant pumpkins are always so insane to see. This year, they were carving a creation into a giant 2,000lb pumpkin - that was fun to see for sure! I love going to check these out every year - such a perfect fall afternoon.

Día de los Muertos in NYC

Times Square celebrated Dia de los Muertos this year with five amazing, huge sculptures. The Catrinas are an iconic symbol of the Day of the Dead, typically in the form of skeletal sculptures, representing the Mexican perspective on the circle of life and death.

These were really stunning! I love that the city finds ways to honor so many different cultures and celebrations!

The Good. The Random. The Fun. v. 44

The Good:

We had an insane nor'easter this week and it poured buckets for 2 days straight. The sun finally came out on Thursday afternoon and we had the most gorgeous double rainbow that lasted for a while!

The Random:

The monster cake is giving the ghost cake a very curious/concerned look. It's giving "we're going to get eaten?!"

The Fun:

Yesterday was Marathon Sunday! Nothing better than cheering on the runners as they make their way to Central Park!

The Blaze 2025

October can't go by without a trip to Van Cortland Manor for The Great Jack O'Lantern Blaze! There were so many new creations this year, which made it so much more fun. The general "theme" this year was all about the Hudson Valley so there were a lot of local themed masterpieces. 

Some of the other new creations included a farm with sheep, cows, and horses, a video game area complete with Mario, Pac-Man, and more, and a massive Wicked-themed area! This was also the first year since we started coming (I think!) that they really moved things around - that led to so much excitement because I wasn't sure what was coming up!
