Perfect Day for the Pumpkin Patch!

I don't know who or what inspired me more, Debra at Common Ground or another treasured and glorious Day in the Pacific Northwest,,,,,,but I DID head to the pumpkin patch! Honestly? I haven't been there for Pumpkins in YEARS.....although it's only a couple of miles away........

We are truly Blessed here in Snohomish to STILL have many workin family owned farms,,,,,,,,Craven's is one of them! And a place I took the kids often when they were little........

The glorious SUN brought with it some haze, normally you can see the Cascade Mountains in the foreground........but picturesque, nonetheless..........and the air smelled heavenly!!

They have all sorts of fun vignettes and cutouts at Cravens,,,,,but I particularly loved this old Truck!

They had this fun "Harry Potter" in the Petting Zoo Area,,,,,,,,,,I had to go in and check out the Barn Friends!

 Out of ALL the pumpkins in the field,,,,,this little cutie just seem to call out to me! Don't get me wrong,,,,I went home with a pullcart full of other pumpkins and gourds that were in the bins and a HUGE Wagon Full of "Mega" pumpkins,,,,,,,but I just loved this sweet little thing!

I worked a bit on my sitting porch today,,,,for Debras event NEXT week,,,,,,,,I'll share those pics after I tweak it a bit more,,,,,,,,,,

These last two days have been a salve, if you will for my psyche,,,and I'm sure not just for ME, but for many of us living in the Pacific Northwest. The end of Summer and the beginnings of Fall, are usually our most gorgeous days of the year here! Crisp, clear mornings full of sights of our wonderful mountain ranges,,,,,,,to the WEST and to the East.....because you see, we are blessed to be surrounded by beauty. But, this hasn't been a typical fall here.  Well, doesn't seem that way for many of others, living in other areas either. I hope everyone has a few bright and crisp, rain/flood/storm free days in the near future, to help them get through the long winter months ahead!  

Due to the weather, I hit a Couple of Garage sales first thing this morning,,,,,,and ran into my dear friend Deb of "Garden Party." We've been trying to "catch up" forever, but we've both been hopping! I "scored" a free chair and Deb got a great chippy old white chair where we met up. The "catch up minutes," were priceless!

I'm thinkin' the weather will bring a LOT of tourists into Joyworks this weekend! We should be hopping! If you live close by,make sure and stop in! I noticed a LOT of packing/shipping boxes in our window well the last two days! New Goodies! Stop on by!

Whatever you do,,,,,,,I hope you enjoy your weekend~!

Hugs, Love and a bus on the Cheek!
