Autumn Harvest

This time of year is marvellous for exploring our farm markets. 

They are full of produce and pumpkins, flowers and handmade crafts, things to do, places to play.

Autumn is spilling over with the abundance and plenty of harvest.

At every garden centre and each pumpkin patch and all farm markets,  people are happily wandering the richly filled stalls and heavily loaded tables.

We are so fortunate to have so much...that pumpkins can be left in a field for children to play, that potted chrysanthemums bloom profusely, that harvest-weary farmers will allow little boys to climb their old tractors.

We are lucky to live in such a place.

Pumpkin Search

What happens when you mix this bright, golden curled girl

with her dark haired talented brother

on an idyllic fall day in the countryside

searching for pumpkins with Mama and Papa

at a local Farm Market?

You get a day full of colour and laughter and joy!

Grandchildren in Quebec

We visited family in Quebec recently.  It was fun to spend time
at a local farm market with our grandchildren.

They were delighted to see baby animals and to feed carrot

tops to the bunnies

and to the kids (baby goats).

There were wagon rides and a pumpkin patch to explore

and rolls of hay to climb.

And everyone had a great time, even the bunnies.
