Last week was a fun start to October. Due to my comfort level wandering around in the fields, we decided to use Molly's preschool class' field trip as our annual pumpkin patch trip. It was just a local farmer's patch. There were no hayrides, corn mazes, playgrounds, petting zoos or food for sale. It was just sunshine, dirt, pumpkins and lots of running around. It was great. Plus, we got 2 large pumpkins and 12 fun small pumpkins and gourds for $10. You gotta love Fayette County! Here are a few pictures:
Two days after our pumpkin patch adventure, we got to go to our town's fall festival, Oakland in October. It was another event that made small town life endearing. The local candidates were there in the "political bull-pen"; there was a bluegrass band, complete with our mandolin-playing friend, Harry; the local rescue workers with their trucks open for display; a variety of vendors and some fun things to do for the kids. Molly was brave enough to take a ride on Red the Pony. I think it was her first time on a horse. They both talked Ed into riding the wagon/hay ride. I wish I had gotten a picture of him on it. But, these will have to suffice:
Happy Fall!
