Pumpkin patches showcase agriculture’s artful bright hues with autumn’s finest orange tones. Some of my favorite memories include taking our daughter to the local fund raising pumpkin patch so that she could adopt a pumpkin. Many exciting family moments are enhanced when children are allowed to select their personal pumpkins. Pumpkin carving is traditional; but, interesting options include paint and decorations to make unforgettable faces. It’s the time together that brings the harvest of bonding created by family members. Gather your family and friends and bring autumn to the table with a bountiful bowl of pumpkin soup. You’ll see the harvest happy faces. Enjoy my Easy Pumpkin Soup. © Kelly McBride Loft
