Fashion Farm in Ligonier
Each year, my family takes a trip back to our hometown of Ligonier, Indiana, to visit Fashion Farm.
Along with a variety of pumpkins and mums, Fashion Farm is home to Fantasyland and a restaurant.
Fantasyland is all about what you can contrive with pumpkins, gourds and some ingenuity. This year’s theme is Superheroes. Some of the annual displays are still there: the hall of presidents, including this year’s candidates Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton with an empty seat bearing a question mark between them; Dolly Parton; and Snoopy.
Plenty of Marvel Comics superheroes fill the dried corn stock-lined path, along with a few villains. But the everyday heroes — firefighter, police officers and even basketball players — receive their own due.
Alas, no journalists defending the first amendment made the cut.
After visiting Fantasyland, wander on out to a couple of mazes and the old jail, which is a cell from one of the city’s old lockups.
But before you leave, don’t forget to buy some homemade pumpkin doughnuts and pumpkin ice cream. Trust me. You will love them!
Happy Fall!
No winter blues here
After what seems to be the 50th snowstorm of the year…
No exaggeration — we haven’t seen the ground since December —
I got to thinking that despite polar vortices, this winter hasn’t been all that bad.
I got to see Casting Crowns …
I met and interviewed Darren Julien of Julien’s Auctions — super nice guy!
He is in a new, unscripted TV show on Lifetime, “Celebrity Home Raiders.” Check it out on Thursdays at 7 p.m.
I found out my daughter is on the high-ability end scholastically.
See, she works soooo hard!!
I got to play with the dogs in the snow.
I saw snowbows …
And best of all, I got to spend time with my two favorite people …
A spring hike
It’s the first day of spring break, so I took my daughter for a spring nature hike. We wanted to see what was popping up out of the ground. Thank goodness there weren’t any critters popping up to surprise us!
Here are a few of our finds:
And we had to end the nature hike with a game of flying disc with the dog!
