A day at the pumpkin patch

We went once again to Relleke Pumpkinfest in Pontoon Beach, IL. We ran into some old friends and enjoyed the day so much, as always. It was good to be back where we spent so many hours with our concession trailer, Wild Bill's Concessions. It's a place that holds many happy memories for us and when the weather starts to cool, and Fall is in the air, we get a longing to head to the pumpkin patch.

We stopped at a farmer's market and bought some apples, gourds, garlic and roasted peanuts. Then we stopped at Carlyle Lake and had some of the apples, and some pumpkin doughnuts we bought at the pumpkinfest. The lake was beautiful, the trees are starting to turn and even though there were a few sailboats, and a family was walking along the beach. It kind of had a feeling of lonliness, as winter will be here soon and the sun worshipers will have to wait until summer to swim in the warm waters and feed the gulls
