The Pumpkin Patch!

30 comments
Hi Friends!

Yesterday was the most perfect of Autumn days!  Sunny, in the low 60's and the trees are really starting to turn.
We have the sweetest little pumpkin patch just up the road from us.
They grow nearly every pumpkin imaginable and they also provide fun entertainment for the kiddies!


Addison may have liked the resident dog the best!  Look at his cute scarf!



Checking out a little bit of the scary stuff with Grandpa!  I thought at 11 months she might be too young to be scared but there was this horrible, scary looking cat in there that totally freaked her out!  Now Addison loves kitties, we have two, but not ones that look like that!



The mums are so pretty!

They have everything decked out just perfectly for fall!



Lots of cute stuff to buy inside as well.


See that little inflatable haunted house?  They have a mummy inside that light's up and makes freaky noises.
There is a witch outside that does the same.  Addison toddled in on her own and then made a rapid beeline out the door when the mummy went off!

The cutest little pumpkin is right here!

And there are pumpkins nearly as big as she is!

More haunted happenings!

 Of course there are scarecrows!

Down below they have this beautiful pond.  Well actually they have two ponds and it's such a peaceful setting.

Arbors and...

birdhouses and....



Shrubs that are turning beautiful shades of red!


More pond views.




And then a wagon ride for the sweetest little pumpkin around!

Thanks for visiting!  I will be around this week to visit all of you!

I am joining the Tablescaper for Seasonal Sundays.

I seem to have a love/hate affair with tablescaping!
I LOVE seeing other people's creations and I LOVE doing it myself.
However, I hate how it can make me go out and spend more than I should and maybe buy things I don't really need.
My only new item for today's table is the real white pumpkin which cost $1.50 and the small mum plant which was only $2.00. 
The rest I already had and most of it I bought super cheap!


It was dark and dreary yesterday so I had to use my flash otherwise nothing would have shown up!


My centerpiece is a white pumpkin that I carved out and added a tiny mum to.  I added a few faux leaves and such to fill it out a bit more. 


The gold tablecloth was only $2. last after Christmas.  The red plates were marked down to .75 cents at Wally World, the napkins were a gift, the flatware, everyday and the napkin rings were marked down to $2 for 4 at Wally.

Gold goblets only $1 a piece at Wally, marked down last fall.


We've had a bit of rain lately so it's still so nice and green outside!  The leaves are rapidly turning with our cool in the 60's weather.


Easy, fun and cheap! 
So how do you feel about tablescaping?  Do you ever buy more than you really need?
So now I'm off to visit and get to drool at some really amazing tables!

Take Care,
Cindy
