Pumpkin Farm Visit. . . . . .

. . . . . . . always an autumn highlight for us.

This year was a special visit for many reasons.

• We went last Sunday and the weather was perfect.
• We took granddaughter Jasmin and our neighbor Raya.
• Jasmin had been trying to get together with Raya for a photo shoot - this was a great location.
• Bob and I were able to spend time with the farmer and his wife, whom we now consider our friends after so many visits to their North Carolina farm.
• Once Jasmin got permission to take photos, she and Raya were able to 'play in the pumpkins' and also visit the livestock. Cows, horses, ponies, donkeys, cats. . . . . it was like a 'safari' with sweet and gentle animals - even the bull was friendly and could be petted!
• I know Jasmin's photos are fabulous. Hopefully she'll let me share more here later.
• Oh, almost forgot - always fantastic, the Sunni Sky's homemade ice cream stop on the way home!

My Sunday pumpkin photos. Several of these beauties came home with me - some already decorating the cottage. Now awaiting the exterior siding/painting project to have it's final check by the contractor today. . . . . . then I can work on autumn decor for the front porch.

I caught Raya enjoying her ice cream!
