We found the perfect way to spend the first day of October ... pumpkin farming :) Chris, Monica, Terry and I spent the day at 3 different pumpkin farms and had a great time. The first farm we stopped at was Bailey's ... There were pumpkins everywhere ... and lots of you pick veggies ... I got three huge zucchini's ... I think there's a few loaves of zucchini bread in my future ... We picked some corn ... been years since I've had fresh right off the stalk corn ... can't wait to taste it ... and look what I found hiding in the corn lol The property across the street was were the corn was ... loved this red barn and the pumpkin fence ... Here's just a few of the pumpkins we got ... we also got a few gourds and a few small pumpkins too ... Here's my family ... Our next stop was The Farm at Swan's Trail ... they had this happy scarecrow in one of the pumpkin fields ... Along with pumpkin patches they also had this wonderful garden ... I would love my backy
