The Ponkin Pats....



Pumpkin Patch Farms 2007

 This weekend we went on an adventure to Blue Mountain, MS to Pumpkin Patch Farms, a/k/a  "the ponkin pats". I could not believe that has been three years since we've been. Two years ago we went to the "patch" at the Buffalo Park, which was also fun, but we love, love, love Pumpkin Patch Farms. It was an amazing day... picnic on the grounds, fun in the jumpy things, train ride, and lots and lots of pumpkins to choose from.  We all FINALLY found the perfect pumpkins to accompany us home, and by the end of the day everyone was tired but very happy. Did I mention I LOVE this season?

Fall Fever



Sarah Ryann, Finn and Mac 2008



 With the first hint of the cool Fall air approaching I donned my favorite hoodie and sat outside in the darkness with a cup of tea enjoying the quiet of the night. I LOVE Fall. I love everything about this glorious season- the weather, the colors, the light, the leaves fading and finally falling, the kids playing in the leaves and dressing up in various costumes. Perhaps most of all I love the still, quiet place the Fall night becomes after those long Summer nights filled with heat, bugs, movement and sound fade away. I know that I am not alone in my love for this season, and I know that some of you would add "football" to the list of loves, and although I do not "love" football I am looking forward to enjoying as much of this fleeting season as possible, including a few well placed football games. I hope each of you takes a moment to stop and smell the rain, the leaves, the crispness of the air. After all, it won't last forever.  Here are few pictures from Fall that I love.
