I went to the pumpkin patch a few days ago with a friend in what I think was a small attempt to hold on to my childhood and celebrate Halloween in the tiniest of ways. It's strange being at home for halloween for once. It's a much different atmosphere than the one I've grown used to at college.
My friend and I went to a small farm that is open year round. You can go there and pay to pick whatever is in season. For halloween they go big and have a harvest festival with several different activities, like pig races and hay rides. I used to go there when I was little when it was still a little quaint farm without all the "pay two tickets" activities and shows. I used to run down the rows of strawberries and remember the wonderful taste as they warmed in the sun.
Although I am not a fan of fall overall, I do enjoy all the colors. So I pass these pictures along to you as a celebration of the beautiful things that come about this time of year. I cannot help but believe that a beautiful and creative mind was behind the making of it all.

As if sunflowers weren't beautiful enough...
I've never seen four colors of cauliflower before.
Mums.
They had a plethora of animals there as well and i'm thinking about dedicating a post to them as well. And now I'm going to go enjoy (probably the only other reason I like fall)... a large mug of hot chocolate.
