The Turning of Seasons

It's hard for me to believe that our Pumpkin season is over.  All we've been doing for the last year and a half is eat, sleep, talk, live, and pray pumpkin patch.  The whole experience has been a blessing, and we have learned so much along the way.  We had a very successful season from our standpoint.  We were an unknown family farm this year, and now people have at least heard of us, or come this year for a visit.  Meeting people with their friends and families was a joy, and truly the most rewarding part of this journey.  A journey that pretty much started with a big plot of dirt and rocks, to a charming, beautiful field of pumpkins that glowed at dusk and a pretty awesome play area, if I do say so myself. It's just difficult to sum up almost 2 years of dreaming, planning, and doing.

Thankfully, with the Ending of one season marks the Beginning of another.  I like that.  I like new beginnings.  Even though the winter season is laying trees and plant life dormant, and the weather is not as pleasant for being outdoors, it is actually a time of renewal and rest.  And I need both. 

So, here's to a new season and new beginnings.
