indeed, fautumn is here and the colors around us are simply amazing. below are a few pictures aaron took just outside of the apartment.
we have had some great october weather with sunshiney days and cool nights. we have made it a tradition in our little garrett family to visit a pumpkin patch and do some pumpkin carving around this time. i have included some pictures from previous years here. aaron and i miss this little farm- mangini's fruit stand and farm in good old pleasant hill; it is one of our favorite places.
october 2007
october 2008 with finneganour visit out west to the olympic peninsula was a beautiful one. we drove the hood canal loop starting in bremerton and going southwest to hoodsport. there we stopped by a small farm (hunter farms) that had some good looking produce and a neat little hay maze. our drive then took us north to quilcene and ended with a ferry ride from bainbridge island back to seattle.
we didn't get any pumpkins at that little farm so the next weekend we searched for another place. we found Remlinger Farms in Carnation, WA. it was so cute. they had dozens of scarecrows and plenty of fresh produce...but the pumpkin patch was not open!
so with our hands still empty, we searched on for a pumpkin patch. and what a beautiful search it was! we saw some amazing valleys, streams and colors on our drive. we even saw steelhead and salmon spawning- there must have been over 100 fish in this small creek!
we picked our prize pumpkins at 2 bros pumpkin patch where aaron had to use shears to cut the stems away.
it was an unexpected beautiful fautumn drive and it left me thinking that it is amazing what an artist God is and that He blesses us with wonderful days of crisp air and scenery that is so pleasing to the eye.
we had fun carving our field picked pumpkins and baking some of the seeds.
did i mention that i love fautumn?
