Today, Oct. 25, is the last day of the 2008 season for Papa's Pumpkin Patch. I was out for my morning walk and it is going to be a beautiful fall day. The sun is shining, the air is crisp, and so far, the breeze is gentle.
When we decided to extend the season another week (last Sunday), we had 8 large pumpkins left. Six days later they are long gone. We may be short on pumpkins, but Papa's is still long on fun.
Most families who visited this week were looking for "one last chance" to let the kids run wild before fall transitions to winter. The nature trail, Slide Mountain and the Bale Maze were hubs of activity.
Today, we expect our friends -- new and old -- will play. There are still some small pumpkins, decorative gourds and corn, along with squash, to enjoy, but we know most folks will play. They will celebrate the season of fall.
In North Dakota we love our seasons, and we know when the mornings move from warm to cool, to "grab your jacket and gloves" cool, winter is on its way. Today, we have one more day to delight in the warmth of the sun and the crunch of the leaves under our feet. Today, we will play hard at Papa's because it is the last day of the season, and it is a day to play outside!
Hope to see you!
Papa
