This morning, Darrin and Micael took us to the Rodoni Farms pumpkin patch near Davenport! I have never seen so many different pumpkins- some looked like the little mushrooms in Super Mario- Gumbas? Gumptas? and others were like little boobs. I loved it.  The variety meant that this pumpkin patch wasn't just rows of endless Jack-O-Lantern potentials! In fact, they had different types of kabocha, squash, and even a farmers stand with lemons, artichokes, and leeks. We bought as many leeks as pumpkins today! And I'm not sorry about that!

Anyway, it was a very sweet farm and I was surprised that the prices were so reasonable. I can't wait to come back here one day and force my own crying baby to stick his or her little head through those little wooden picture holes- it seems like a really great American tradition.

Don't mind Jon's get-up. There was no shade cover, and that's just what he looks like sometimes. It takes posting it to a blog for me to realize just how fantastic he is.
