We went to the Pumpkin Patch for another autumnal rite of passage. Watched them shooting off the pumpkin cannon. It's a giant air gun that shoots pumpkins up and high over a hill. After that children were invited to fire off a smaller apple shooter (yes, ammo was apples). The pumpkin chucker a/k/a trebuchet won't be set up until next weekend. We found our way through a 'maize maze' w/ no difficulty since we were following some young boys who would run down dead ends, run back, and run ahead on the correct path by the time we caught up w/ them. I bought some pumpkin and squash to make my front door look a bit more seasonal but we all passed on the caramel apples. The weekend was fun but unseasonably hot (might have hit 90 one day). Tonight's thunderstorms should also usher in cooler temps. Time to start Fall projects!
