The Great Pumpkin

09 Nov The Great Pumpkin

“Wanna go pumpkin picking?”

“Duh.”

Sam’s iMessage popped onto my screen and I didn’t hesitate before responded, “Can we go on hay ride, too?”

Two weeks later we were leaving New York, heading to a farm in New Jersey. It was so cold. But we still acted like we were 5 years old enjoying our hot dogs, looking a pumpkin that wasn’t too heavy, and the tractor-driven hay ride.

My mom would plan similar activities for my brother and I at a local farm, Ashcombe, when we were younger. We’d always go pumpkin picking and watch It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown. I’m not too cool to admit that this still something I like to do.

(minus the ??? wind??? )

What’s your favorite fall activity? ?

p.s I was never one that really thought that sickness is brought on by changes in the weather but I lost my voice. My throat is scabby and raw. I’m not sure what to wear that won’t make me hot, but feel like I should cover up. Bleh.
