Farmers Market Saturday - October Harvest


The first day of October came on grey and wet, but that didn't dampen our spirits.  My mom, my niece, a friend and her kids and I all piled into a couple vehicles and headed to the farm stands for canning tomatoes, squash and perhaps a few pumpkins...


We had far too much fun and piled the cars far too full with goodies.  I found a few squash I haven't tried before, and picked up some veggies to make some soup.  A white Lumina pumpkin and a few other Cinderella-type pumpkins ended up in my car too.  I don't know how that happened...





Hope your October has arrived with magic and abundance!

    They say to buy your pumpkins early because there is a pumpkin shortage this year. We're not too bad off here in the West, but still -- don't wait! Glad you've picked yours up already.

    Everybody knows that pumpkins have a bad habit of just jumping into our wagons and cars at this time of year! ;)

    I adore these pics!! I missed out on our work's "family fun day" for picking pumpkins and things with the kids (I don't have any myself, but have so much fun with my coworker's kids) but am getting at least one, or possibly two, smaller sized pumpkins to carve and/or draw on this year. Hallowe'en is my ultimate favourite holiday!

    Ooh...loving all the pumpkin images. Can't wait to get myself to some farm stands in New England. And me thinks those Cinderella pumpkins are 'magic'....that's how that happened! ;o)

    Oh, how I wish I could have come with you... I love all the photos -- thanks for sharing them all!

    Thanks also for all the lovely comments you have left on my blog, Jen -- that's so very much appreciated.

    Just in case you haven't seen it yet -- maybe you want to check out my Oktoberfest giveaway . It would be nice to welcome you back to my blog.

    PS: So far the tarot card deck hasn't arrived yet, but I will be sure to send you an email as soon as I receive it, okay? Don't worry about the shipping time -- I am just glad that you include me (and other international players) in your generous giveaways. And -- I know all about high postage fees. Germany is one of those countries with the highest postage fees. *sigh*

    Sounds awesome. I can't wait until the farmer's markets here start selling pumpkins and squash in earnest; so much carving/cooking to be done!

    Those pictures look fantastic, I wish we had markets like that over here - though my Husband would probably be grateful or our house would be full of pumpkins!!!

    Thank you for sharing your wonderful adventures!!
