Once again this year, we visited a pumpkin patch. While the wide variety of squashes on display is the main attraction, watching the young families in attendance is an equal delight. How refreshing to see children enjoying something other than their electronic devices.

While lots of folks were using these giants for photo opportunities, they were also for sale and could be loaded into your vehicle with a forklift. Now, how do you get that out once you're home?

A few small glass pumpkins.
Inside the store, Halloween merchandise has taken over.
I love these silly trick-or-treaters.
However, I wasn't tempted to bring any more home.

I hope you're enjoying the bounty of the season!
