There are pick your own apple orchards every few miles & they all do weekend festivals with hayrides, haybale mazes, pumpkin patches, and lots of apple foods (my favorites are fritters washed down with fresh pressed cider)ComfyMom~Staceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15645425225886356909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7671093558941693832.post-55510264888467712102011-09-30T08:07:49.519-07:002011-09-30T08:07:49.519-07:00How colorful.

But over the last 20 years or so, squash and pumpkins have become very common; now when I drive to town along the main road, there is often a field of pumpkins ripening alongside the road. Maybe I should go out in search of a Pumpkin Farm and take my own pictures. <br /><br />Love that biiiig field full of green and orange, all in rows, with the cool tent/tee-pee in the background. Great photo, Rinda! <br /><br />Autumn is here in our area, though the trees are still mostly green. I did take some nice photos in the garden though - perhaps I ought to post them.Lizziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11918211625453430621noreply@blogger.com
