Can you believe this is the first pumpkin I’ve ever carved? John always “helped” the kids (ie they got to watch him do it) and my dad probably did ours when we were young. I’m willing to bet my mother has never carved a pumpkin, unless she did it before I knew her.

Harvest Festival
Posted in chat on October 19, 2009 | 1 Comment »
Saturday, John and I ran over to the Harvest Festival at Meadow Farm in Glen Allen. This is so close to our house and in 13 years, we’d never been there. With a festival, it seemed like a good time to check it out and take pictures! Unfortunately, the temp was in the upper 40s/lower [...]

Amy, this [...]

How cool and unexpected is this?
