As Minnesotans we cherish our short summer months. But if you are like me, there is just something about the way the months during the fall season feel. The days are usually clear and sunny. The temperatures are cool and refreshing. Change is happening all around us with the trees blasting us with bright oranges, reds and yellows. The kids head back to school and we settle into a routine again.
Well, it is hard to believe that it is already August and the first back to school commercials have started to air. We have been enjoying the nice warm beautiful days and we still have many of them to come. These days have been exceptional for our mums and they are starting to fill out beautifully,
Wow! It’s hard to believe that it is already July. Time flies when you are having as much fun as we are. We are still in full swing around here as we just finished setting down and planting our mum pots for this coming fall. This year we did a little over 7,500 mum pots, with a variety of beautiful colors.
October is beautiful Autumn color, raking leaves, chilly evenings, cozy fires, soup in the crockpot, pumpkins and mums by your front door, Halloween treats, and time to slow down and settle in for the season ahead. I love October!! It just feels good to enjoy the change.
Just in case you didn’t know… our Fall Festival on October 4th and 5th will kick off one of the best months of the year for kids young and old. The Bouncy Pumpkin is a big hit for kids 45 inches in height or shorter. The young ones can wear off some energy bouncing to their hearts content. But I must say, the Corn Pit is giving the Pumpkin a run for its money. We fill a straw bale pit with corn to wiggle your feet in. Even the parents can’t resist taking off their shoes. It is a time when our lost and found seems to accumulate quite a few stray socks. Also don’t forget to hike through our Straw Maze. With its twists, turns, and dead ends, we challenge the youngsters to escape its grasp. All of these activities will continue throughout the whole month. So stop back often and enjoy yourself.
