| pine cone hat |
This is the day before Halloween and the people of Eugene love this season and everyone gets into it. old and young. It has been a beautiful fall not much rain and warm weather. Fall colors are intense, just like back east as you can see by the photos below. Saturday market two days ago was a beautify day and everyone was out. It was also the ducks foot ball game and people of Eugene are active ducks lovers. Even if they don’t go to the game they dress in the green and yellow outfits. I wandered around the craft booths after I did the farmers market. below are photos of people dress up in interesting cloths. The people are not inhibited and all kinds of people can be seen at the market enjoying themselves.
Sunday I went to the Mushroom Festival at Mount Pisgah Park, 15 minutes outside Eugene in beautiful farm country. Thousands go to this festival. There are displays, food,(great mushroom soup) lectures, walks, hayrides and products related to mushrooms. Many people young and old dressed in costumes and nature outfits. Some of us Ya Po Ah residents went on the hay ride. It was a fun day.
There is a Halloween, Karaoke party here at Ya PO Ah. I made a pine cone hat to wear to the party. Costumes are encouraged.
I have been going to Chris’t farm about one a week. I bring a book and my paints. This is their major harvest time.
