(Did you know that pumpkins had blossoms? You can even cook with them….they are edible flowers!)
What a weekend…SNOW in October! When the forecast called for snow today in VA, I couldn’t believe it….until I saw it. I’ve seen pictures and read stories from some of you who experienced serious accumulation today. Luckily we had already made a few trips to nearby pumpkin patches recently and experienced fall fun before the unseasonable snow hit. I have a few photos that go along with my pumpkin blossom close-up. Here’s a day at Summer’s Farm in Frederick, MD.
Enjoy this Fall day – sun, sleet, or snow!

Snow!?!?!?!?!? Already? Oh my. Much too early. Especially where you live. Hoping you have a wonderful weekend anyway.
I am having fun just looking at your pumpkin farm day. Yes, it is way too early for snow. From what I’ve read this morning, it has been quite devastating in many areas. And my heart goes out the many who are affected. Hope you are staying warm and cozy.
It’s wonderful to see your fall pictures. Here in upstate NY our pumpkin patches are covered with snow. Looks like a fun family day at the farm. The boys are so photogenic. Love that action shot of you crossing the bales!
No snow here on the GA/FLA border, but the heat came on overnight. Pumpkin blossom cooking must be similar to zucchini blossom – but just give me some pumpkin muffins and I’m good to go!
What fun you had with your family at the pumpkin patch!
Oh, laughing at your antics at the pumpkin patch! Thankfully we are still having a mild fall and getting to enjoy the warm days. I am sure the boys were wanting to play in it!
Wonderful photos, that pumpkin blossom is so beautiful. I love all the pumpkin patch photos, looks like loads of fun!!
Oh my stars! What an incredibly fun adventure you had!! What were you guys doing? Jumping hay bails? That image of the boys in the barrels is my favorite. It needs to be framed! 🙂
oh great shots and what a fun day your family must have had….
Cindy your pics always make me smile! Love the blossom macro shot but the ones of you all jumping are my favorites! What a great family day you all had, and those apple cider donuts mmmm!
How much fun the boys were having (and you too)! I miss the days of going to the pumpkin patch. This year we purchased pumpkins and gourds at a flower shop. I felt like I was cheating, and was a little sad at the thought. Someday I’ll have grandchildren, and hope to start the tradition all over again.
so much fun!!! These pictures are fantastic! I especially LOVE the last one with the pumpkin in focus only, beautiful! and a beautiful family! 🙂
Looks like you and your family had a wonderful day at the pumpkin patch. Your macro of the blossom is beautiful. I love the jumping pics. You all look so happy.
Mmmm…those doughnuts look delish! What a fun day you must have had at the pumpkin farm!
Beautiful photos, Cindy!! I love your youngest going down the slide! The facial expressions are priceless!!! I was planning on taking Wyatt to the pumpkin patch yesterday, but we got SNOW!! Have a wonderful Sunday!!
I STILL can’t believe you all got snow! In OCTOBER O.o
It’s just so crazy-But all I can say is better you then I. LOL
What beautiful pictures!
And definitely great you all go to go before all the snow!
These are great photos! I remember seeing the pumpkin blossoms on my dad’s pumpkins in our garden as a little girl and I do believe they fried them up or something, too – how lovely to be reminded of such a wonderful time in my life – thank you!!
Yes – What a difference a day makes! I could not believe the weather yesterday and today is gorgeous, seems like it never happened. I love pumpkin blossoms. reminds me of growing up picking them in my parents huge garden. Love all your pics! Looks like so much fun.
Cindy, you and your guys always have such fun on your family outings. Hope all is well with you all this weekend and that you are staying warm. I’m sure the boys are loving the snow.

Awesome photos, and having lived in Frederick, I know where you were! That photo of you is awesome!
Such great pictures Cindy! I love the ones where you were all jumping across the hay bales! I remember doing just this, but also climbing huge mounds of them in the hay barn. I never once thought about anything being between them or you know…..They were often stacked as high as the barn themselves. We imagined they were our houses…kind of like our very own tree house!
And the one of your little one going down the slide…super fun =) And, is that kettle corn? Oh, now I want some =)) xo
I love the pics that show the joy on your boys’ faces! AND I love apple cider donuts! I don’t love this crazy snow!!
Looks like a really fun day! I live in southern MD and we just had rain, thank goodness!!
Your photos tell a delightful story!
Oh my heavens what family fun you all day! Love it! The photo of hugging the popcorn is awesome! Totally made me smile! Fall is so great for family activities!
Pure Bliss!!!
Wow Cindy – what amazing photos! Your family had so much fun! Thanks for sharing your day – I’ll have to live vicariously through you until things cool down here in AZ!
🙂
I love the jumping photos! Everyone looks like they’re having a blast!
