A Day at the Punkin' Patch

[Loubon]

Okay. I am going to reply to everyone one at a time

Nice pics, horse-ina. Reminds me of places 'round here. Our peak color is at least a week off, but like you said, it likely won't be as gorgeous this year with the late warm temps and too dry late summer. Still, it's home. . .and gorgeous this time of year. Time for crisp apple cider (warmed at night), fires, and nippy runs in the morning. From now til the holidays is a great, great time of year. Thanks for sharing. . .

You sound like you should have written for J. Peterman on Seinfeld. Do you sound like him? Lovely imagery Dog.... Someone told me we should move to Virginia because it is sort of like Maine except warmer. True, but don't you have more rednecks?

Thanks for stopping by the punkin patch!

Okay, Okay, I will acknowledge you even if it is out of order because you are sooooooo impatient! You'll have to wait, Kerrie Sue is next.

Gorgeous family, thanks for sharing your pics!
It looks like you had a real, lifetime memory day!

I won't be posting our family pics--DH needs to be bribed into shaving on the weekends, DS17 is fond of wearing blown out jeans or a skirt(kilt!) & I am, shall we say, a victim of my physique!

Thanks so much for sharing your day! The "pumpkin patch" closest to us is just a local church that brings in several truckloads of pumpkins to sell as a fundraiser for their youth programs. Not even close!

And you have a new tag, too!

You need to talk to southern4sure! She had to pay 6 bucks a person for some hay spread on the ground and a few punkins brought in for atmosphere....she was very disappointed! At least your church is a good cause.

Yep, I saw the tag, only after I saw your post!

Kerri Sue....I bet you get huge pumpkins over there! Foliage, not so much! Thanks for visiting the punkin patch!

LOVED the pictures, your kids are darling (and your DH is cute!)!

I would love to have a place like that around here...I'd never get DH out of that corn though!

Thanks so much for sharing this, Horsey...it was really wonderful!!

 

[horsegirl]

Wow. Great day report. Your kids are really photogenic. What a great day too. Your husband is lucky to have such a good looking wife and kids. The report was well written too. I even read it. Well, most of it.

Thank Mr. Big! For coming to the punkin patch, actually reading, most of it, and for the compliments to me and my kiddos! I hear you have a beautiful family too! Now go back and read the rest of this story, and then visit my Week at the lake. That one is excellent reading before bedtime...

Horsey:

Where did all your tags go? You look almost, well, naked.

Yes, but only because we get more sun and warm weather. Politically speaking, no comment.

SweetHorseyTagLessBabyPonyGirl --- I love this report. It makes me wistful that I missed my babies' trip to the punkin' patch. They went with my dad and sister whilst I was frolicking in Disney World. Bad Mama. It's a beautiful report, and gorgeous (if somewhat offensive, some ) photos!

And, I am borg with you. I have a gallon of Ricker Hill Orchards cider in my fridge this very moment. I don't know what it was doing in a grocery in central NH, as we have many fine orchards here ourselves, but there you go. Small world.

Well Horseyhorsiehorseigh,
This is truely Romantic in the real meaning of the word (depicting life as is should be).......

beautiful! the trees! the sky! the family!

Thanks for writing it to share with us all.

Love it Horseybaby!! I can't show these pictures to Wesley. He'll want to know when we're going. As it is, he gets to visit the Georgia National Fair tomorrow. They will watch cows being milked, and see baby chicks. That's about it.

I think we will drive up in our mountains later in the month and get some apples. And maybe punkins, too! But the scenery will definitely pale in comparison to yours!

Kisses for those kiddos!!

 

[horsegirl]

Wow great pictures! Looks like you had a great day with your family! I too wish we had farms like that down here, but not enough for me to want to move up north!

I don't know where the land of lost and confused is, but I am surely on my way there! No farms there you say? I would perish without my 100 acre wood. We had a great day!!! Pictures speak 1,000 words, which ordinarily is a good thing!

 

[horsegirl]

Horsey - Beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I did not see London, just a belt, and could I borrow it

Everyone loves a whoopie pie and who needs napkins, let the goats lick their faces.

The pictures are gorgeous, as is your family. And a little finger up the nose makes for a perfect day

You have been in the spices again! No you did not see London OR a belt! I forgot it. I am always a day late and a belt short...

I am liking all the suggestions of alternatives to napkins. The Rev said sleeves, now goat tongue. All these ingenious solutions to the over foresting of our trees.

We had a perfect day, especially after I whipped out the Purell.....

 

[horsegirl]

You have a beautiful family!
Thanks for sharing the pics of your day at the farm

Thanks so much, Laura! You realize that responding to all these nice posts is seriously disrupting my ability to riddle.

Sweet horseybabygirlfriend,

Your story and pictures made my day! I felt like I was almost there with your beautiful family; I had such a great time with you!

Once again, your writing has soothed my soul and given me many reasons to smile, reflect, and be grateful I can call you my friend.

Thank you for taking the time to share your words and pictures with us.

Awwwww thanks you. Glad to provide you with a few moments of

jack Handy's Deep Thoughts.

Glad you enjoyed your trip to the punkin' patch!

 

[horsegirl]

I've seen who you hang around with.

Yes, you!!!!!!!!

So what exactly are you trying to say? Should we call you commando horsegirl?

I refuse to answer that. I don't give out my intimate secrets, especially about unmentionables.


Thanks for stopping by the punkin patch....

Thanks Jonesy! I love some guys in kilts. Have you seen off kilter at Epcot? It will convert you. And I bet you are beautiful! And, wait til I have THREE teenagers all at once. It will probably look like the Adams Family!

Thanks for stopping by the punkin patch!

 

[jaycns]

Thank you for sharing a little slice of everyday heaven with us! I love those days that just leave you with a warm glow inside! You have such a sweet family! Thanks!!

PS that three legged goat is such a darling! I might have tried to stuff her under my fleece and make her our new resident yard goat. Thanks for sharing that!

 

[cherokeemamma]

Thanks for sharing your beautiful fall day with us. I must say you have a lovely family!!! You kids are ssooo cute!!

Those whoopie pies look yummy!!!!

I don't know where you guys from the south live ....but here in Ga we have farms, and mountains and pumpkins patches. There are apple orchards and corn mazes too! We do not have those delicious whoopie pies but what about some boiled peanuts and a fried peach pie?
