I love October! I love the sunny, crisp, cool days. I love walking amid the falling leaves. I love curling up with a cup of tea in front of the fire. And I love taking my kids to the pumpkin patch! This was our outing yesterday morning in the beautiful fall sunshine. We went to the Laity pumpkin patch near our home in Maple Ridge and chose an obscene number of pumpkins (as pumpkin carving is my hubby’s favourite part of Halloween). It was the perfect addition to our Thanksgiving weekend and today we cook up our turkey, open our home to grandparents, aunts, uncles & cousins and give thanks for the abundance of blessings in our lives. Happy Thanksgiving!
