July 4th of this year in the pouring rain we planted 200 pumpkin seeds within 50 mounds. The rain did not dampen our spirit as we were very excited and knew when fall hit it would all be worth it.

Autumnal Equinox, September 22, 2009 at 5:18pm and fall begins. We were very excited and eager to begin watching the pumpkins grow. The pumpkin vines are growing very well and are getting very long. The vivid golden colored blossoms have popped open and even a few faint orange pumpkins have begun to take shape.

We returned to the great pumpkin patch last weekend and to our wonderful surprise we saw several vivid orange large pumpkins. The pumpkins were perched is the rich brown soil with a brightly colored green leaf acting as a canopy. Seeing the large vivid orange pumpkins began to make my imagination go crazy as BD loves to create Jack-O-Lanterns.

This Fall stop take a look around and relish the colors that surround you from the deep browns to the vivid yellows even the rich sunsets that fill the dusk sky.
