Here are some pictures from our trip to Buena Vista for pumpkins. We went there on a whim and I’m glad we did. By the time we left, Adrienne was already wondering if we could move there. We certainly make tradeoffs living up here high in the mountains, and I think the thing Adrienne misses most is gardening; the growing season literally lasts for just a couple of weeks. Although Buena Vista is still in the mountains (around 8,000 feet), it enjoys a much more temperate climate than we have here. Adrienne was pretty much drooling when she saw the variety of plants they were growing there.
As for the pumpkin picking and other festivities, we all enjoyed a great day.
Enjoying a burger while taking a rest in the maze…
Jackpot!!!…
Talk about a genuine-article cowboy…
Junie loved, loved, loved the maze. Here she is running away from me…
Jolee taking her second ride of the day with a wrangler barely her elder…
The farm, the food, the pumpkins, and the trio playing bluegrass…the whole scene felt so much like we were back in North Carolina. What a delightful day…
