What does one do on a beautiful October day in Southeastern Connecticut, you ask?
Take a trip to Scott's, naturally.
You know the kind of place . . .
piles of gourds . . .
. . . and apples . . .
. . . and peppers . . .
. . . and more gourds.
It's the kind of place that people imagine when they hear the word "autumn".
Even the chickens have autumnal earth tones . . .
. . . handsome devils, aren't they?
But for me, it's all about the gourds.
I love the gourds.
I'm a big fan of the gourds.
And I especially love multi-colored piles of gourds.
And when the exhaustion of shopping for gourds and pumpkins and apples hits . . .
. . . well, one can relax with a nice-gourd-filled luncheon.
Or wait, I've got an even better idea. There's a little place right up the road . . .
Happy Harvest!

Wow, what a great post to take us from Halloween to after, to pre-Thanksgiving, I guess, to the bounty of fall.
It doesn't look much different around these parts -- it's so awesome to get some new England autumn vicariously though you, E!
Thanks for sharing ;)
