Yesterday was time for my daughter Liz's family to go to the pumpkin patch. She asked me to come along. But I was not sure I could do so much walking on bumpy grounds. So I declined.
This is one of the pictures Liz sent from the patch. Lots of gourds to chose from.
A cute entrance with the hours. Most of the pictures I received were too dark. Some didn't even download. Grrr.
I know that Layla, in her princess dress ,went along with her parents Brock and Emily. Look at her chocolaty face. :):) She is sweet enough without a chocolate coating.
This is after the boys, Max and Luke got home from a long day. Lynzie and Mark took them to the patch also. The boys do a lot of snuggling it seems. Luke always smiles when Max is around. These are my favorite pumpkins .
The leaves are falling around here and yet we do not have much color. The farmers are harvesting quickly because rains are on the way, possibly this evening. I am hoping the corn around here gets taken in soon. I want to wash my windows. They are so dirty from the bean dust. :( Washing windows is still a chore, but it's easier with a bucket ( tall trash can) with water/vinegar mix, and a long handled squeegee and paper towels. :)
Hope all of you are enjoying this wonderful weather. Well it's nice here in Indiana . Wishing you a beautiful Sunday. XO
I so glad they had a great day at the pumpkin patch. Looks like cooler wetter weather for us. I have been soaking up the nice weather! Have a great day.
ReplyDeleteKaren, You sound like me...I am trying to enjoy every nice day with some time outside. :):) We know what will be here all too soon. :) I love when my daughter gets her little family all together , so they can enjoy family time. My those babies are growing. Bless you, hope your week is not too gloomy. xoxo, Susie
DeleteThat's great they had fun at the pumpkin patch! Have a wonderful week Susie!
ReplyDeletePilar, I am so thrilled with the way my daughters and their families take time for each other . It's a joy for my old heart to witness. I have been thinking of you so much since your post . Hope you are stronger and wiser everyday....me too. :):) Bless you honey, xoxo, Susie
DeleteI have been doing well! That happened a while ago, but yes I'm stronger and wiser everyday :) I know that I am since I was able to write that post etc. It was hard to write it, but I wanted share my story and help others.
DeleteFun times in the pumpkin patch, how well I remember those days :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful children, I know they fill your heart dear friend.
Hugs,
~Jo
Jo, You know we love the great grandbabies. I wish I could see them everyday. I often wonder...what happens to all the pumpkins and gourds after Halloween and thanksgiving time. I hope they are fed to goats and such. I fed our out of season pumpkins to the neighbor's goats one winter. I also raked the neighbor's apples to feed them. Blessings to you sweet Jo. xoxo, Susie
DeleteOh, the pumpkin patch, how fun! I used to go every year, Susie, even when my kids were grown, but it's been a few years since I've been. That one Pink pumpkin looks like a Cinderella pumpkin. The boys are precious napping next to each other. And Layla is such a cutie. Is she going to be a Princess for Halloween?
ReplyDeleteThe leaves are falling here also, and it was so cold this morning when I went to church. : ) Can you believe October is almost over, Susie?
love, ~Sheri
Sheri, It seems you miss your children being small and in your home , as I do. Yes, Layla wants to be a princess all the time. LOL. Emma and Savannah used to be that way. Oh how I miss them even. Time is flying young lady...once Jess has her baby, it will seem even faster. I do hope you are near enough to her to visit and love on the baby. Blessings to all, love, xoxo, Susie
DeleteYes, I do miss them small and running around in our home. I think it's because I was a stay-at-home mom, and watched them all day, every day. Then, one day they turned 19, and were on their own haha. Now, I'm looking forward to grandbaby, and Yes, I'm not too far from Jess. : ) It will be nice to go to the pumpkin patch again with a little one.
DeleteI haven't been to a pumpkin patch in years.
ReplyDeleteGlad y'all had fun. :)
Hi , thanks for visiting. It's sweet to see the children playing and enjoying their time out in the patch. There was a pony also for wee rides too. Great grandson Max smiled from ear to ear while on it. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteLook at all of your little dolls! What fun it is with little children. I still love to go to pumpkin patches! Thanks for popping in to see me.
ReplyDeleteBe a sweetie,
Shelia :)
Shelia, You know we all love our little ones. They steal our hearts. Blessings to you, xoxo, Susie
DeleteOh the joys of autumn days..so sweet and full of fun Susie..I just love hearing about where you live..it's so very pretty!
ReplyDeleteThank you Betsy. I am so glad my children are willing to share their families , pictures ,and good times. I guess Max rode a pony and smiled the whole time. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteYour little pumpkins are very cute! Good girl, washing windows!
ReplyDeleteHoney, I used to let God wash the window more often when I worked. LOL. I love not have drapes or curtain pulled across my window...but then I can see the dirt..oh my , they are very dirty. Maybe another two weeks. Even tho I have found an easy way to wash them...I sure don't want to do it twice in a short period . LOL. Oh yes, I adore our families little pumpkins to pieces. Blessings to you and yours, xoxo, Susie
DeleteIt has been years since I was at a pumpkin patch. I used to love to go on hayrides through there. Oh to be young and able to walk again. Your grands are just too adorable for words.
ReplyDeleteKathy, Honey I know the meaning of good feet...since mine hurt so much. I do okay and can even run short spurts...But walking too long or standing long periods kills my feet. I thank you for the sweet words of my g.grands. I do love those babies. Hope your day was good. It's clouding up of course it's near dark. We will be having low temps and rain the next couple days. I pray we aren't heading into an early winter. Bless you, xoxo, Susie
DeleteI love going to the pumpkin patches...
ReplyDeleteBJ, There's the big garden center near my daughter's house and they have everything you could dream of for autumn décor. But I know the wee boys had their first trip. Layla had gone to the patch before. kids just love seeing all the pumpkins. Hugs to you my friend, Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteThe grands are all adorable and look like they had lots of fun at the pumpkin patch. Love doing those fun trips with my grands. Have a great new week.

Kris, I am so happy the little ones got to go to the patch. It is sounding like winter is fast approaching from the weather reports. I am not ready for that. Blessings to you, xoxo, Susie
Deleteso enjoyed the weather yesterday! Worked in the yard, then had a Halloween party that was outside. Sorry you could not go to the pumpkin patch, we did that last week...so enjoy it!
ReplyDeleteAnn, I love the nice days of working in the yard. Glad you had a party outside. Sounds like fun to me. I knew there would be lots of walking and standing around, which makes my feet hurt. I do love to go to the garden center near my daughter's house. :):) Hope you are doing well and have the yard looking better, sad about the big tree. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteI miss the pumpkin patch up North. It was wonderful, and mazes to go through, and lots of interesting pumpkins, and gourds.
ReplyDeleteYour little snuggling pumpkins are daring, an so is "chocolate" Miss.
I haven't seen a pumpkin patch where we live yet...they better hurry...haha
Wanda, The time a friend and I drove from Reno to the golden gate bridge we saw fields and fields of pumpkins near Sacramento. I never dream pumpkins were grown in Cal. till I saw them. Yes, our own little punkins are the best, Layla, Max, and Luke. Blessings to you and your hubby, xoxo, Susie
DeleteA pumpkin patch is such a fun place to go with children in the fall. xo Laura
ReplyDeleteLaura, The grandkids and their little ones loved it. They had a good day for being outside. I have some really cute photos. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteLove the family pictures. Haven't gotten to a pumpkin patch yet, but it's so warm -- 70s -- that it doesn't feel like fall. I'm so glad Savannah enjoyed her trip to New York.
ReplyDeleteHi Carol, I was excited for my granddaughter to see NYC. She loved it. We had lots of over average temperatures for this month and we are ending it ,in pretty wet and cold.Blessings to you, xoxo, Susie
DeleteLove fall, pumpkins and gourds...cute kiddos..Waiting for cooler weather.
ReplyDeleteMissy than you, the children loved their day at the patch. Good thing they went then, the weather has really taken a turn. Wet and cold. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteThese are the sweetest pics of the babies! I love visiting the pumpkin patch, too but I would not want to do a lot of walking. We had about 3.5 inches of rain overnight and now we are enjoying clear skies and a nice breeze. I need to clean windows, too!
ReplyDeleteMildred, There's many things that I have to think about my ankles hurting, then can't go and do. I am just glad the children can . They did enjoy their outing. Wow, that was a lot of rain. We have had rain all day. I do not know when I will get to my windows. This rain is getting some of them clean. :):) Blessings, xoxo, Susie
