It was a long time coming, but fall has finally arrived. This is my favorite time of year. I love the fall colors and I love the first day I put on shoes and socks, rather than flip flops. I'm sad to see the swimming season end, but it's sure nice to not have to worry about keeping the pool clean and sparkly.
Fall is never truly fall without a trip to Bishop's Pumpkin Farm. It seems not so long ago I accompanied Micah's elementary class on a field trip to the Pumpkin Patch, which consisted of - a pumpkin patch, where the children could pick their own pumpkin and a smallish shed with a few crafty items displayed. Nothing like the present day Bishop's Pumpkin Farm which boasts a train, hayride out to the pumpkin fields, corn maze, coyote mountain with slides, petting zoo, bakery and lots of food venues, etc, etc. We avoid the weekends, as it is just too busy with crowds from Sacramento and even the Bay Area. Thanks to the Bishop Family for creating such a lovely place to spend a cool fall afternoon.
This is our first foray into "designer" pumpkin carving. We made the effort in honor of the launch of Micah's new website: www.craftbattles.com
Check it out for future crafty battles/competitions.
