Pumpkin A-Plenty

The other day I had my very first trip to a pumpkin patch. Yes, I

thought it was absurd I haven't been before too! I mean, it's almost a rite

of passage for us fashion bloggers, no? Wink wink, nudge nudge. Paul

and I took a drive to a place called Hank's Farm during the middle of

the week and ended up having the entire field to ourselves. It made for

a perfect autumn day strolling up and down the rows of bright orange

pumpkins. The air was warm and cool, the clouds played with the sun,

and we saw this season's first flock of geese flying south. I've lived in

an apartment for the last 9 years, so I may have gone a little overboard

on decorating my new house for autumn. There are pumpkins placed

on every step, in every corner, and on shelves. Hank's was selling old

corn stalks, so we picked up a few of those - to go with the bale of hay

of course. I got fall chrysanthemums and picked pine cones off the

ground to put in glass vases with autumn-scented candles. I feel most

comfortable and grounded when surrounded by nature, so why not

bring nature indoors with me? How have you been celebrating fall?
