Pumpkin Patch

For today's countdown to Halloween post, something simple, yet so perfectly typical of Halloween. So we went yesterday to a children's autumn fayre in the preschool of a nearby town. My wife found that one, she has an eye for local or almost local events that will keep the family, or at least her son and her husband, interested. She knows us well. It was just as much a Halloween fayr than an autumn fayre. There were lots of things to love, including this pumpkin patch. Some pumpkins had already been carved into Jack O'Lanterns, and there was even a little scarecrow guarding it (because yes, you definitely need a scarecrow in a pumpkin patch, however small the patch or the scarecrow may be). It just looked very sweet, very autumnal, and it made my day.
