A Pumpkin Patch

For months I’ve been looking forward to taking Sophie to a pumpkin patch. I wanted a quiet farm, away from busy roads, without lines, and rich with good-looking, perfect-for-carving pumpkins. Impossible? I thought so. But then I discovered Neltner’s Farm & Greenhouses, just 20 minutes south of our house.

We rode a red wagon pulled by two big, beautiful horses to the pumpkin patch.

We were outside, so I know Sophie enjoyed it.
