It's pumpkin time!

Well, 'tis the season to be busy! Sheesh!

I can't believe it's been two weeks since I snapped these photos, but it really has.  Across the street from our old house is a church that puts together a little pumpkin patch come October.  Whereas we once walked out the front door to pick out pumpkins, we now have to get in the car and drive, which means actually having to plan our visit.  Anyway, we did manage to get our act together and not wait until the day before Halloween like last year.  It just seems I can't get my act together to get the photos up.  Anyway, here they are...because I have a birthday celebration and trick-or-treating photos that are also waiting to be shared and are giving these photos a swift kick in the rear.

(An osprey decided to serenade us atop the steeple.)

Later that night, the dumplings couldn't wait to paint their pumpkins.

We had such a fun little afternoon. I'm so glad we were able to squeeze it in with all of the tennis Caleb has been playing on the weekends.  I never did get a shot of all the finished pumpkins.  Shame on me.  I still have time though.

Next up...some fun in the sun and a little birthday celebration.
