Pumpkin Time

So glad it finally feels like Fall. But even without the low temps, we knew it was here...Starbucks has their Pumpkin Spice Latte, Hallmark is all decked out for Halloween (who am I kidding...they've got their Christmas out by now), the Pillsbury Pumpkin "ready to bake" cookies are calling me from the refrigerator case at the grocery store, and now pumpkin patches have opened up for "pick your own" season. And picking your own pumpkins is SO much fun. A few of my favorites pumpkin patches:

Hall Family Farm, Carrigan Farms, & Riverbend Farms 

Happy punkin' pickin' y'all!!

Blessings,
