The pumpkins have come to Cedar Key....A giant truck load of them were delivered last Saturday and are now ready for sale as you can see here.....

The United Methodist Church on the island are selling these, along with gourds, as a fundraiser.  So I hopped on down there the other day and got my share.  Nothing like these orange orbs to make you feel autumn is really in the air. (Even if the temp says it's in the 80's)  And this what I did with them.......

So now my front walkway is all decorated for the autumn season.....bring on the cooler days. 

This weekend is the annual Seafood Festival on the island.  Locals and tourists alike will flock the downtown area in search of farm grown Cedar Key clams, mullet, grouper, and shrimp, in addition to land-lubbers food.  2nd Street will be blocked off from traffic with the vendors lining the street displaying all kinds of art work and crafts.  But they'll be something a bit different going on this year.....Some of us will be approaching the festival goers asking them to sign a petition.  And yes, two of those someone's will be Ray and me.  It all has to do with the outrageous taxes that we pay to live on this island.  Ray and I will be circulating between 12 and 2:00 today to get as many signatures as we can. 

And I'll be back tomorrow to explain what this is all about......See you then.
