We traveled a hundred miles north today, to Reading, PA, to pick up a wood order that we absolutely needed as we were down to less than one 4x8 sheet of mdf that we use for our signs.
I noticed that autumn was starting to appear as we crossed the state line from MD into PA. The tops of the trees are beginning to turn shades of yellow, orange and red.
We also passed many, many farm stands and shops with mountains of beautiful pumpkins,
not only in orange but also in white.
I took my Darlin' Boy to our local farm yesterday hoping to be able to go on a hayride but the ground was still too muddy, so we settled for a pumpkin, some apples, a jar of apple butter and 6 apple cider donuts.
I have had visions of decorating with lots and lots of pumpkins and mums every year, but when the girls were small we usually had only 1 or 2 pumpkins made into jack 'o lanterns for Halloween. Since they've be out of the house I haven't even done that. But I'd love to do do something like the photo below that came from the Martha Stewart website.
I have a drill...I can do that!
