Pumpkin Farms

Seth's preschool took a trip to Kelsey Creek Farm last month to get up close with the animals, and Lydia and I tagged along. Thanks to Cortney and Trisha for the pictures...this mom forgot to bring her camera!



The whole class:

Farmer Jane put the kids right to work, bringing buckets of sawdust shavings into the animal stalls and spreading them out with brooms and rakes:

A few days later we went with our good friends to Trinity Tree Farm, a Christmas tree farm-turned pumpkin patch in the fall.

Trying to find just the right one:

We had pumpkins at home in the garden, but I figured we'd get one here. This was THE one that Seth is sitting on. Good thing it wasn't too big...it was 55 cents per pound (ripoff)!

jen--I see what you need the selveges for. I want to make one, too! But I probably won't . . . . maybe you can give me extras if you have more or mom can save more for me when you're done. That looks pretty easy. I saw a pattern for a selvedge bag at the quilt store that was really cute. I love this!!! I like scrappy things the very most. Have fun.
