pre-Halloween weather monster, &#8220;Frankenstorm&#8221;, I took a few moments to savor the fall beauty in a few pictures I took on Friday. \u00a0It was my son&#8217;s preschool field trip to the pumpkin patch, and the weather was warm and beautiful. \u00a0 \u00a0There&#8217;s something about this particular field trip (this was my third to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kropscrops.com\/\">Krop&#8217;s Crops<\/a>) that just seems so all-American and full of tradition. \u00a0The crunching of fallen leaves as we walk, the kids picking their own pumpkin in the field, and a simple snack consisting of a fresh apple and apple cider. \u00a0The scene will likely change in a few days &#8211; \u00a0rain and wind prematurely blowing away the fall leaves, flooding, and pumpkins on the loose. \u00a0So glad I could enjoy these moments of calm before the storm. \u00a0And if we lose power, I&#8217;ll continue to see these pictures in my mind&#8217;s eye.<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.sweetbeadstudio.com\/?attachment_id=10679\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-10679\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full
