Cake, Corn and Pumpkins

My very favorite time of year begins with the start of fall and ends on New Year’s Day. Yesterday after I got off work, the kids and I celebrated the arrival of the Holiday season with cake and cider at Buon Giorno…

…and then headed up the road to Hall’s Pumpkin Farm.

We played in the corn maze…

…saw lots and lots of pumpkins…

…and generally had a nice time welcoming in the Season of Light.

I’m determined to find a way to enjoy the Holidays even though I’m back in retail, and I think this is the secret: little experiences tucked in wherever we can fit them, and celebrating on our own schedule rather than tying ourselves to traditional timelines. Let the magic commence!
