My husband and I have always had awesome holiday traditions. We started going to the pumpkin patch LONG before we had a little one to take with us. Back then they weren’t so popular. And now, everyone goes to the pumpkin patch. It’s a big thing. Like the carnival. I don’t like that kind of patch. I don’t want to ride rides. I want to walk out to the field in search for the perfect pumpkin. We find quiet patches and we go during the week to avoid the crowd. It’s normally in the evening and the sun is golden. You can see other little ones bopping down the rows, their heads barely coming above the weeds. I can hear my little boy talking about which one is better. Which one is more fitting for our family. It’s wonderful. We find our pumpkins, pet the animals, watch the chickens, grab our corn stalks and then go home to soup that has been cooking in the crockpot. And maybe some cider. Once again, it’s wonderful. Even if it’s 20 degrees, it’s still wonderful.
This year, I made apple caramel apple crisp to have for dessert (I had a surprise box of apples delivered last week and I needed to use them quickly!) You have to try it!
