13 Days of Halloween: Day Seven

When the leaves start changing, the wind starts moaning, and the temperature drops to a deathly chill, we start craving pumpkin. There is something about sitting in your kitchen, watching leaves fall past your window that makes us want to make a big mess, and bake up a storm. Considering Thanksgiving has a monopoly on pumpkin pie, we figured it is the perfect time for pumpkin bread! Our recipe is adapted from Stonyfield Farms website, and will make your place smell delicious. It is moist, not too sweet, and tastes even better a day or two (or three...) after baking. Ready? Here we go.

13 Days of Halloween: Day Four

We love pumpkin patches. 

 

We really, really, truly do. Some may say it borders on obsession. We would agree. Why? Because we take hundreds of photos at each pumpkin patch. Because we go through them ( all of them) numerous times a year. Because we exclaim over pumpkins like each is a newly born child. Because we sincerely believe that we (and everyone else) are more beautiful while amongst pumpkins. Normally screaming children can annoying. Not in a pumpkin patch. In a pumpkin patch, they are delightful, adorable ghouls. The pumpkins, and the places where they grow, are magic. 

 

We go to pumpkin patches every year. For us it is one of the highlights of fall. We usually look for them online, and it's not hard to find patches with farm stores, hay rides, snack shacks, espresso, hay rides, petting zoos, roasted corn, corn mazes, crafts for children, and more...even in the city. There's still time to go find your pumpkin before Halloween! 

 

Here are a some ( well, okay, a lot) of our favorite pumpkin patch pictures from over the years.
