Morning at the pumpkin patch
Since the fires up north, we’ve all been paying attention to the air quality index and planning our activities accordingly. During a recent yellow (“acceptable”) air quality moment the other morning, the girls and I slipped away to take our annual trip to a nearby pumpkin patch – and we practically had the whole place to ourselves.
It occurred to me while there, as it did last year, that we might not have many years of this left. Pretty soon, I suspect, visiting patches or Halloween-themed spots, picking out little pumpkins and posing for photos for her mom will be the last thing Zoe (or Avery) wants to do. But for now, I’ll savor our adventures!
