transformation of a pumpkin

this week was busier than i expected and i never got to write about my pumpkin patch adventure last sunday. it was fabulous. thank you stocker farms in snohomish for a lovely fall day; searching for the perfect pumpkin(s), caramel apple latte in hand.

                                                 the winners

As of last night, a few of these lovely pumpkins have been transformed into works of art. i love friday nights filled with friends, homemade caramel apples, pumpkin carving, and watching Elf :)

                      my owl, tamura's harry potter pumpkin, and kirby's face

                                                      yum!

so, although it's getting dark earlier and is gray more frequently and is much colder than it was a month ago, i am still finding the beauty and traditions that fall has to offer to be quite worth the downsides of the season.
