it's probably my favorite thing to photograph.
annie and i stopped over at the nursery for pumpkins.
i don't mind getting regular orange ones at the wal-marts.
(much cheaper)
but it's fun to find the different ones here.
we picked a gray one.
and we liked the bumpy reddish ones.
we almost got one of those too.
it took us so long to decide.
the staff kept coming out to see if we needed help.
no….we are just slow.
i love to look at these every fall too.
she was measuring it kristin.
one chimp.
ha.
so very pretty.
the colors of fall are THE best.
we brought home this frosty orange beauty.
it looks straight out of a fairy tale.
Tracy - I love all of the pumpkin photos but the very last “frosty orange” one is my most favorite – it looks like it should be in Cinderella! :o) Fall is my favorite time of the year and I love the “smells” of fall in general – burning leaves, pumpkin patch, etc…. Thanks for sharing! These would make some great scrapbook pages! Hugs, Trac~ :o)
carissa - that “frosty orange” one… oh YES… very pretty! pumpkins are just plain FUN & your pics are FAB my friend!
Alpaca Farmgirl - Oooh! Beautiful pictures! Thanks for sharing them with us!
This is such a fun time of year.
Lorilee - I love all the different types of pumpkins. I like the white ones and the Fairy Tale pumpkins the best! Your photos are wonderful!
Happy Halloween!
Lorilee
thatgirlblogs - so funny that they kept asking if you needed help. maybe the camera made them nervous 😉
Deb - Oh, I LOVE white ones! I want to get one and use gem-covered thumb tacks to map out a pattern. All glitz and glam, like a Diva punkin’.
Rachel - Amazing pics…it’s great that you get to spend one on one time with her…we do that in our family too! But we only have 2 kids to do it with LOL…your a great mom!
melissa @ the inspired room - So pretty, love all the “punkins”. 🙂
Happy weekend, Meg!!! Hoping you are out finding some fall front porches to show us…you’d do a great job on a Fall Drive By! 😉
Melissa
Ashlie - Once again, I LOVE your pictures!! Fall is my absolute favorite time of year. The colors are amazing and everything just feels so cozy!
kristin at prairie daze - we call the gray ones “sally” pumpkins.
i think that is one chimp.
(still one of my very favorite preschool moments.)
Sandra - I just posted pictures of The Gourd Barn near us. It’s so much fun to see all the variations — not just the traditional orange pumpkins. Happy Fall!
One Wired Woman - What a pumpkin of a day!! The last photo is my fav. I love fall!! ~Jill 🙂
Liz - I just realized, sadly, that all the pumpkins in my house are fake. So sad. These pictures are wonderful.
Kameron - I love your pictures! I saw a white pumpkin (in person) for the first time this year. I was so giddy I bought it and now don’t want to ruin it by carving it!
Leah - Cute! Annie is getting so big…when I started reading your blog she was just a little thing. Regarding pumpkins…for whatever reason Im having a hard time finding white ones here is WA! Going to a nursery is a good idea.
Heidi - Oh they are so pretty, individual works of art! Love ’em! Thanks for sharing your little trip there.
Sarah - oh, i love these pictures so much, the color of the pumpkins next to that striped sweater is perfection. thanks for the shot of color in my day.
Bethany - So looking at these fun fall pics really makes me miss Kansas! It is SO hard to get into the fall spirit when it is bright, sunny and over 90 degrees. Blah. So, soak up the beautiful fall weather for me!!
traci - LOVE THE PICTURES but you always have rockin pictures!!!! Just curious…how much do you spend on all that stuff?? I STILL remember your porch from last fall. I have the worst memory ever but your fall porch made such an impression I STILL rememeber it even with my stinkin memory. You must spend A LOT. LOVE YOUR BLOG TO PIECES!!!!
julie - What a great nursery. Fab selection, much better than the cardboard bins of orange in front of the store.
PamperingBeki - Oh I LOVE unusual pumpkins!!
The white are my favorites, and I love the gray bumpy ones too.
We have an orange and green speckled one on our porch. I was excited to find it.
And you did NOT just say “at the Walmarts”. Bahaha!! I use that line all the time. That, and “and STAY out of the Woolsworth!” 😉
We’re hitting the pumpkin patch this weekend and I’m so excited. And then the kids go for a field trip on Monday. YAY pumpkins!
Kara - Um…hold the phone. Is that an AQUA pumpkin in the last picture? Or is the lighting toying with my emotions?
Amanda - Love it! Great shots! That little angelis sure adorable. Why can’t I look cute like that in pig tails! 🙂
Now…to see where you use them to decorate..
God bless!
Amanda
jennifer - Beautiful, beautiful pictures!
I was just thinking this morning that I’m so glad God gives us such gorgeous colors to look at in the fall. It off-sets the frost on the grass that I’m not so happy to see. 🙂
Sharla - Your pictures are beautiful! I love all the unusual, but awesome, colors and textures they have out now!
traci - they do have a lot of different pumpkins to choose from. it would have been difficult. i live the little line of pumpkins – does that represent your family? too cute!!
