For years I've been fantasizing about visiting a pumpkin patch on a cloudy day, one with gourds and squash and pumpkins of all kinds growing on dark green vines spread thickly in all directions. They weren't on the vine, but nevertheless, yesterday's cloudy pumpkin patch visit satiated my craving, at least for now. The sweetest dogs trotted through the corn fields and walked along side us--Lilly was ready to bring one in particular home with her. And in addition to the standard orange ones, there were heirloom pumpkins ringed with the most delicate of colors and gourds striped green, yellow, and red; we ate one for dinner last night with tomato sauce, mushrooms, and bacon (it was delicious, in case you were wondering). It has been a strange fall thus far in many different ways, but a visit to the pumpkin patch can cure all sorts of autumnal blues.
Edit: Just a clarification--yes, I've definitely been to a pumpkin patch before, just not the exact one I've been dreaming about. :)
Love these - especially the last one.
ReplyDeleteThere are so many patches and road side stands out in the country filled to the brim with pumpkins. I'm seriously considering stopping by one, someday real soon.

love it. just...ahhhhh.... :)
ReplyDeleteThat sweet little shack in the sixth photo. Oh, my heart. And the colours in the last one. And had you seriously never been until now? Craziness. Must have been such a neat experience, being able to fully appreciate it. My best friend has had a pumpkin patch for as long as I can remember, so little orange circles are kinda engraved into my mind.
ReplyDeleteps. Our mothers are undeniably twins (style wise, at least). Is it weird for me to say I think your momma's beautiful? Because I do.
I have some of the fondest memories attached to visits to the pumpkin patch. there's this one little place we go to every fall with apple orchards and homemade baked goods and piles and piles of pumpkins and squash. I'm thoroughly in love :)
