A Farm Full of Orange Happiness

Autumn just can't pass without our annual

(sneak in during the middle of the week)

visit to the pumpkin patch. 

That patch full of orange happiness brings out some
serious joy in this team. 

We go not to snatch up a couple of pumpkins and be on our way,

but to linger long.

Our favorite part? 
The JUMBO pumpkins.
It is among those gi-normous fall icons that we snap pics, explore, touch, and play hide and seek.

  The rest of the pumpkin farm is filled with other once a year treasures.

We run our hands over rows of hanging Indian corn.

We wonder why some pumpkins are smooth and others are bumpy. 
Some are orange and some are white.

We walk through the covered bridge, munch on bags of salty popcorn, take a hayride, picnic and roll up our jeans and splash in the creek.

We go home happy, refreshed and in need of a good long snooze.

Thanks, pumpkin farm.  You still live up to the hype.
