"Three Little PumPkins sittin on a  fence
 trying to make a Dollar out of  ninety nine cents.  "
Yup got my first real PumPkins of  the Season
 last Saturday ... right down the  road a piece.
 Normally cant find any in CT this  early but
 our neighbor/farm stand guy Tom got  them in just for
 me ...... almost cause an accident  as I screamed
 STOP to hubby when I spotted them.   
We usually head to PA early Sept 
to find my  first pickins  but boy am I  happy 
to see these cute  little orange orbs
 sittin in my kitchen.  
I know alot  of you aren't ready
 yet ....  but I so Love the  Fall and all 
that comes with it.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Today we went down for some fresh  picked corn 
 and he gifted  me with this Beauty ..... 
(the only  one he had)  
Can ya believe the size of the stalk, 
 and look at the deep grooves,  and I love the tall shape.    
 I was Giddy I was so Excited, he was way too busy to  
 give me the scoop ( variety & where it was grown).   
 As soon as I can I will bring him down some  home-made  
 TreaT ....  Thank him again,  and get the story.  
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I am counting down the days for  a camping 
trip to PA.  Fingers crossed I can make the 
Fall Open Houses at  my favorite shops.
 Visit with my Friends, Purchase some Treasures 
and  come back with lots of Inspiration &  Memories.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Wishing you all the Best of what  
Summer has left to offer ~~
