pumpkin pickin’!

Yesterday we drove out to Queen Anne Farm in Mitchellville, MD to pick up some pumpkins and enjoy the fall weather. I found the address for the place in a random online search for farms near DC, and we decided to just take a chance and go check it out. It was a cute little spot. There was a barn filled with all sorts of delicious treats, a fenced-in area with chickens, roosters, and miniature ponies, a hillside covered in sunflowers and pumpkins, a corn maize, scarecrows, and red radio flyer wagons to pull your pumpkins around in. I felt like a little kid. After we wandered around a bit and went through the maze, Matt and I finally decided on a little green pumpkin to take home. I’m not sure why we chose that over all the perfectly orange choices, but we did. We also got some Pumpkin Pie popcorn, jalepeno jelly, pumpkin butter, tons of different apple varieties, and some little funky shaped gourds covered in bubbles and bumps. My favorite are always the ones that are all gnarled and crazy looking. We ate all the popcorn in the car on the way home, it was delicious.
lost in the corn maze, luckily we did not have to call for help
nightmares.
crazy gourds!

Happy Halloween! We’ve had 8 trick-or-treaters so far…must be because of my ugly dollar store decorations!
