Pumpkins, Rain, and Carmel Apples


Last Saturday Johnathan and I decided to go to a pumpkin patch. We got ready, walked outside and, to our dismay, it started raining. . . hard. Eventhough the weather was not conducive to pumpkin picking, we made the venture to find a patch. We wanted to go to the same patch we went to last year. However, the road to that patch was closed so we had to look elsewhere. After a lot of driving and continuous rain, we found one called the Red Barn. We took a hay ride out to the patch which was fun. It was FREEZING and both Johnathan and I did not bring sufficiant layers (it also didn't help that I couldn't close my coat due to my bun in the oven). We got to the patch, picked our pumpkin and it started raining. So, everyone ran back on the hayride and we drove back. Now, we weren't only freezing, but we were wet. Not exactly the pumpkin picking experience we had in mind.

In order to remedy our wet, cold day, Johnathan and I went home and made hot chocolate and carmel apples. It sure did make us feel better. Embraing Fall and all its goodness, Johnathan created a lovely spread of things to document our day.
