ECF: Of Pumpkins and Petting
At the beginning of the month Amanda and her two boys and I headed for the south east part of Loveland to attend Osborn Farm’s Market Days event. This was our third year in a row of attending and I think it just gets better each year!
Our first priority was to choose our pumpkins while there were still plenty of choices. I think Jacob enjoyed his first year of getting to take part in the choosing process :-) Because it is too darn cute, here he is a little larger…
And no, your eyes didn’t deceive you. I brought home over 40 pounds of pumpkin! (Plus some gourds not pictured there.) It was only $16! That was mostly pie pumpkin that I’ll be roasting and making puree to freeze and pumpkin butter. We also got two carving pumpkins which DH and I will be carving the middle of next week. I still am not solid on what I’m going to do on mine…
After we secured our pumpkins and stashed them in the car it was petting zoo time! There were the usual suspects - goats (a favorite as they are so friendly), a donkey, ducks, kittens, a turkey and chickens. There were probably a couple more animals I’m forgetting since it was nearly a month ago now that we went.
There was more fun, but you’ll have to wait. See, I’ve learned a bunch more about post-processing my photos. Especially for the web so they don’t appear so washed out. But, it makes the process take much longer than my previous method… So you’ll have to wait for more Market Day photos, but they will be coming.
