Pumpkin Farm Visit #3 (two days ago)

Yep...the best visit this season!!! Can't get enough of the yummy fall smells, the pumpkins and all of the animals and children!!! Watching my own children, nieces and nephews, friends and other children and people at the pumpkin farm reminds me of all that is good in life: all that is beautiful and virtuous. All that is lasting. This time we were there until dark, and the sunset was BEAUTIFUL, ROMANTIC. Some faint storm clouds adding to the beauty, with the anticipation of rain wild in my heart.

This time, we went to celebrate D's BDay and had a small party with family and MD. Because it was a BDay celebration, we got to do some things we do not usually do when we go: instead of choosing one activity, we did two: the train ride and the big slides. We also got to eat the yummy food: Don had pizza, I had a corn dog, D had nachos and M had a hot dog. I also got to visit the gift shop this time: I had been keeping myself away from there on our other visits, just waiting for this trip. Fortunately, I did not find anything I really wanted to purchase: last year they had some really adorable art work that I wanted to purchase for our home but I had not saved up any money at the time. This year, I went with the amount I had saved, but kept in mind a book I wanted to purchase at the Christian book store, which I purchased today. The title is CAPTIVATING, and I feel so strongly that it is for me right now.

Here is a quote from the book: "Sometime between the dreams of your youth and yesterday, something precious has been lost. And that treasure is your heart, your priceless feminine heart. God has set within you a femininity that is powerful and tender, fierce and alluring. No doubt it has been misunderstood. Surely it has been assaulted. But it is there, your true heart, and it is worth recovering. You ARE captivating."

WOW

Love to all, Katie
