Earlier this week, we went to a local pumpkin patch. We live ITP (inside the perimeter, which is 285--something I never caught onto until I'd lived here for a while). Anyway, the big pumpkin patches all seem to be OTP ... too far away for an after-work drive on a weeknight. And our weekends have been pretty full lately. So we hit an urban pumpkin patch at a nearby church. We went to a different ITP patch last year. Equally as fun. There may not be hay rides and such, but there is plenty of sincerity, as Linus would say.
"Each year, the Great Pumpkin rises out of the pumpkin patch that he thinks is the most sincere. He's gotta pick this one. He's got to. I don't see how a pumpkin patch can be more sincere than this one. You can look around and there's not a sign of hypocrisy. Nothing but sincerity as far as the eye can see!"
At an urban pumpkin patch, pumpkins grow on pallets.
Ummmm ... yeah ... that would be Peachtree right there behind us--just a hop, skip and a jump away from rush-hour traffic (not shown in photo).
What cuties! I love these people!
We enjoyed the little photo scene. See Tanna's shoe? Kate wore this cute black pumpkin dress I picked up at a consignment sale. It is size 3T and fits her well. It will probably be too short for next year, but we'll see ...
Kate kept trying to pick up all these big ol' pumpkins. That girl is strong!
Urban pumpkins
Tanna was off paying for our defective pumpkin. When I picked it up, the stem came right off in my hand, and it started oozing (gross). Anyway, I said we could just get another one ... meaning that we would pay for that one (it was only, like, $1.50) AND get another one, too. Tanna thought I was just going to put the other one back after I "broke" it. (It really did just come right off in my hand.) But he thought I was going to try to pull a fast one. On the church! Can you believe that? Anyway, due to this misunderstanding, we only got our defective pumpkin. I already put it out with the trash. But Kate has her little pumpkin from last week, too. So she is all set.
You guys were just a couple of blocks from us. Love your new haircut! I know what you mean by living ITP and it not being super convenient to go to all the Patches.
ReplyDeleteYour hair looks super-cute!!!
ReplyDeleteLOL!!!! I love that Tanna thought you were trying to pull one over on the church pumpkin patch!
