I chose picking and carving pumpkins.


Halloween is a really active time with my family. our pumpkin patch is like a carnival, we spend half the day there. playing games at the booths and jumping in the bounce house. Then ending the day walking the maze like pumpkin patch.


Then we have a pumpkin carving party. its a big even with snacks, music, and lots and lots of carving. This year however i will be putting out healthier snacks than last. LOL

They are round and hard, a little bigger than a walnut.

Yes, I do always have my camera with me now that I have a new one that fits into my small purse. I don't use it often though. I do want to get some pix of our park path though.


I dread that "other" season starting. Green is my favorite color, have a hard time in winter when everything is grey. :(

Yep ...yup...exactly like those. Some streets have them and they fall down every Oct thru Dec. They are very sharp.

True on that. I do not mind...more exercise for me to burn my calories. She could have her child do it, he is the obese one that needs to move more. Maybe this coming Fall, he will be raking. I will see. If not, I benefit.
