pumpkin patch

Yesterday we took off in search of a pumpkin for the house. There were two orchards about the same distance from the house, one was having a festival so that's where we headed. Wasn't exactly what we had in mind when we pulled up. The "orchard" was essentially a big backyard surrounded by housing developments. As you looked at the pumpkin patch, right behind a privacy fence was a little neighborhood, playground equipment in the backyards...not quite what I'd pictured. This place was what I'd call a city-orchard. Somewhere folks familiar with skyscrapers and bellmen come to experience "the country." Next time I don't see mention of taking a hayride to the apples or pumpkin patch I'll know they're talking about a city-orchard. Hopefully the warm weather will stick around long enough for us to try again and make it to a true country-style orchard. We did snap a few pictures while we were in the backyard orchard:
