PUMPKIN PATCH

This week, ABC Wednesday is brought to you by the letter P, as in pumpkin patch.  We spent the afternoon at Country Farms Pumpkin Patch yesterday, and the kids had a blast going out into the fields to pick their pumpkins.  It was very expensive to go into that particular area where you could have a hay ride, a mini train ride, get an apple and other treats and view the displays.  So I opted to be photographer and caught them as they went by on the hay ride and then went and shot just about everything I saw - from roosters, bunnies, goats, and piles of fresh vegies in the market area.  When we got home, my daughter and son-in-law helped the kids design and carve their pumpkins.  They were leaving last night on a vacation/business trip, so wanted to share the experience with the kids before they left.  So we now have 5 pumpkins decorating my front porch and the kids just need to put candles inside for Halloween night.  Here are some photos of our great day at the pumpkin patch.








With plenty of thanks to Mrs. Nesbitt, our perennial leader/creator, and to the popular Roger, our personable administrator.  Also, plenty more thanks to the phenomenal team who pop by to give each contributor praiseworthy points of view.  See you all next week for the letter Q.

  14. A very fine rooster strutting its stuff. I enjoyed your photo outing. I can never decide whether carved pumpkins are scary or fun although the one on the chair looks to be having a great laugh.

  15. Love that old truck. Pumpkin patches are so fun. But if they don't sell, it is so sad to see them rotting in the fields. - Margy

  18. Great photos! I like that someone took a photo of you as you took a photo of them. And, that was so cute how your grandkids waved at you as they went through the gate. Very sweet.
