* * * Gordon Skagit Farms PUMPKINS!! * * *




Since early childhood, nothing speaks *autumn* to me

as much as the pumpkin! It's totally

my favorite shape from nature,

the more ribbed/fluted

the better!!


My favorite *pumpkin patch* is Gordon Skagit Farms on

McLean Road in the Burlington/Mount Vernon area.

From heirloom pumpkins, to gourds, to squash,

to Indian corn, to corn stalks, to great

Halloween displays, this is a

must stop in Skagit

Valley!!!!



The beauty of the valley is the perfect backdrop

for this 30+ year institution in the

farm country.



Eddie inherited the farm from his parents and carries on

with this historical gem, adding his own

special touch with HUGE oil

paintings sprinkling the

grounds.



His talent is awe-inspiring--just look at these scenes!!

Giclee prints will be available soon of these

local masterpieces, so keep in

touch with the farm.



Who doesn't LOVE white pumpkins?!!!!



Check out this GIGANTIC, gorgeous tree!!


I could have stayed all day, absolutely spell-bound by all the

eye-candy . . . if you want to get into the Halloween

spirit, this is your ticket--take the whole

family and be sure to get some

fresh apple cider!!!



. . . what more can I say . . . heavy SIGH!!!!!!
