Drove out the northeast fork of Long Island today in search for farms and pumpkin patches. About 30 miles from our house there were patches one after another, and a particularly delicious-looking pie stand where we hope to take Randel's Mom someday. I looked out the passenger window expecting to see the cascades towering to my right, but I realized I am not in Oregon. It was a strange feeling...
Once we chose a patch we walked to the far edge. We picked out smaller pumpkins this year as we are on a serious budget.
Randel was going to pick the pumpkin that was the furthest away, but alas, it had a minor defect. 
-Because I don't get dirty enough...-Look family--- there are farms on Long Island!
All in all it was a beautiful, sunny day. We saw calico deciduous forests, swans, wooden geese, chickens, and pony rides offered at a wine-tasting venue (because those two activities clearly go hand-in-hand). We stopped at a farm stand to get some fresh veggies and headed home. Hit a garage sale for some awesome deals on studio and house furniture.
Fall foliage outside our doorstep.

Pumpkin patches!!! There are pumpkins in St. Kitts... its actually a staple food source, but they aren't the small cute orange kind, they're ginormous green and yellow kind. Enjoy for me please!!
Will do! The patch didn't have any green or yellow squash, which was very strange to Randel and I. But we got 4 middle-sized pumpkins for $10! Pumpkins on a budget!
