Living in Alaska I never gave it a thought about
how we got pumpkins in the store. I just saw big bins full of them. Believe it or not, this is the 1st time I have seen a pumpkin patch! I giggled when I pulled over. It just looks odd to see so many orange blobs in one place. Across the street was a
little farmer stand selling pumpkins and other stuff. I bought a jar of homemade cherry jam. It taste yummy, has big chunks of cherries in it. Wisconsin is also the 1st time that I saw a cherry tree! My friend Kellie has one in her yard. Her cherry tree didn't do what a cherry tree is supposed to do. Also my 1st apple tree. Boy, I have had a lot of first here! Not all of them good. Wisconsin, 1st place that I hit an animal! Hit a deer the 1st week that I lived here!
You find such interesting places Kris. That cherry jam sounds delicious. You'll have to tell me where you stopped to buy the pumpkins and jam.
ReplyDeleteOh oh, the weatherman just said we have a chance for snow in the forecast. That means snow on all those pumpkins. You'll have to go back and take a picture of the pumpkins in the field if they get snowed on!
Enjoy your crafting adventure tomorrow.
Crafting? Krissy crafting? The last time I witnessed that we ended up with a bunch of smashed pasta angels. I remember the first time I saw corn on cornstalks up close. It is cool - Alaskan kids (that don't live in the valley) miss out on some growing food information.
ReplyDeleteVery cool Krissy. How much were they selling the pumpkins for? I still haven't got any yet..
