Pickin' At The Patch

October has rolled in and, besides the emergence of my Dracula voice, so have the pumpkins. Today we went down to Santaquin to Rowley's South Ridge Farm to put our pumpkin picking groove on. We loaded up into a tractor-pulled cart (not full of hay bails due to allergies) and down the bumpy roads we went to find our little orange treasures.


In case you've never been, this is the red barn on the south end of Santaquin next to the freeway. I first experienced their delicious ice creams eleven years ago and hadn't been back since. Shame! But they also sell other things like jams and fudge. Double shame!


When we arrived to the fields we jumped out and started hunting our pumpkins. "Here pumpkin, pumpkin." May found one quick and so did I. Adelaide got her hands on one she could carry, at least a while.


Then we found our fourth little one and it wasn't for Captain. May said he doesn't get one. Something about him being a dog or something like that.

So little baby already has her (I call her a "her" because I accept that I only make the girl kind of humans) first Autumn Harvest.


Happy Fall.

HAPPY PUMKIN DAYS to ya all! We went to Half Moon Bay today and there are so many cute little pumkin farms! I think it is ok for pets to get pumkins as long as they can carve them!!!!
