we'd been talking about getting some pumpkins for awhile now, but it just didn't seem close enough to pumpkin carving and seed roasting time to get a little orange buddy for the front doorstep or my windowsill. today was the perfect day - no clouds in the sky, an orchard where we could bring zoie, and lots of energy.
the drive to hendersonville was about 40 minutes, and on the way to Stepp's Hillcrest Orchard we passed a handful of other orchards, all boasting the best apples, cider, and more.
following the directions and as we got closer, the hand-painted wooden signs, we arrived upon rows and rows of apple trees. after being handed a map with the names of about 30 apples and their corresponding rows throughout the orchard, we headed to the pumpkin patch.
a little lookin' and we found two perfect orange globes - a bigger one for jessie's front step and a little one for my windowsill. can't wait to carve them and roast the seeds! mmm!
