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!!!!!!
