Today we went to The Original Pumpkin Patch on Sauvie’s Island! It is the one I always grew up going to and still looks the same. We started out our visit with a hay ride to the field where we picked “the perfect pumpkin” right off the vine! After our pumpkin picking we visited the produce market to pick up some seasonal butternut squash for soup later this week. In the produce market Jeff came across a ginormous Zucchini! Below is a picture of him holding it, we couldn’t believe how HUGE this veggie was! On our way out, we couldn’t leave without getting some hot sweet corn on the cob, yum! The weather was perfect, no rain and nothing but sunshine and smiles

To continue celebrating Jeff’s Birthday we are off to Outback Steakhouse for a nice steak dinner just the two of us!

Super Yummy and oh so easy! Flip Flops and Applesauce has a great recipe for pumpkin spice muffins, my favorite!

Above is a preview of this month’s computer desktop from Shabby Princess!
Shabby Princess is one of my favorite Digital Scrapbooking sites. Not only do they have FREE DOWNLOADS (which I love) but they have “how-to” tutorials, galleries of other scrappers, and a “Shabby Shop” where scrappers can buy/download high quality papers,embellishment,fonts,and other fancy stuff that Shabby Princess has designed for digi- scrap lovers to create their own pages!
But what keeps me going back to Shabby Princess month to moth is their blog where they put out a FREE computer desktop background for visitors to download, customize and put on their own computer! CLICK HERE to visit the Shabby Princess blog and get your own free October Desktop!
