Pumpkins

In case you haven’t seen it, the Harlequin Historicals authors have a blog now. I’m going to post more in-depth information on some of my Ireland research in case anyone is truly interested in all the little details. :blahblah:
I posted a little bit yesterday with a few more details you might not have seen here, so go check it out. You can even leave a comment so I don’t feel so alone. :loser:

Saturday was so much fun. I took my kids to the pumpkin patch and we bought the biggest pumpkin I’ve seen in a long time. What fun! I couldn’t lift it into the car, it was so big. It must be over 50 pounds. I had to have my husband lift it out of the trunk. I don’t think this picture really does it justice, but at least you have an idea.

My other project was planting pansies. I love the fact that you can actually have flowers in wintertime in Virginia. It took a while to get them planted, but I’m pretty pleased with the results. The pink azaleas are Encore Azaleas that bloom in the fall.

What about you? Do you have any fall traditions in your household? (Among mine is raiding the Halloween candy stash before trick-or-treating. I’m so bad.) Have you gone pumpkin-shopping yet?
