Happy Halloween

I told myself that this was the year to stop carving the same sad pumpkin face. I copied other folks' patterns and borrowed Linton's delicate modeling tools, oh yeah and took hours, but am so please with the results that I'm bragging about them here... 

You have to open the following picture to see Rhona's over the moon happy face, because...

...(surprise, surprise) our little ladybug loves chocolate. 

A variety of autumn

We've done a few pumpkin patches and farm visits this autumn. Here are some of my favorite pictures.

This is the prettiest food to come out of the garden this year. I did a terrible job managing the blight on my tomatoes, but I have many more summers to practice in tomato world.

The blog has been off my mind for a while now. Sorry about that! Here we are alive and kicking in the middle of a corn maze we went through at the Skagit Festival of Family Farms. More harvest pictures to follow.
