Pumpkins...Friends...& Family....

Every year our church has a pumpkin patch. We sell pumpkins as a fund raiser. We turn our little corner lot into a pumpkin Wonderland. It is the only pumpkin patch around town (pumpkins do not grow in our area very well) & it is BUSY!!

Our little church boasts a regular attendance of about 100. The average age of our congregation is close to 80!!! Therefore, the girls & I spend A LOT of time WORKING in the pumpkin patch through October. We see a lot of friends, teachers, community workers during our time in the patch.

Both my brother (& his family) & my sister (& her family) came up & worked weekends in the patch this year. It takes a tremendous effort to pull it off. But the rewards are priceless.....

Of course, there are pumpkins........




And, Spending time playing with our friends.....







Finally, there is time with our family........







I love pumpkin patch time........
