On our way to dinner we passed Mt. Olivet Lutheran Church on 50th St. in Minneapolis and marveled at the huge Pumpkin Patch with pumpkins of all sizes and shapes for sale. With camera in hand, I stopped to take some pictures. While walking around I met Kirstin who was here with her two children, Amelia 4 and Luke 3, to pick out their Halloween pumpkins. They loaded their wagon to pull home that is just a few blocks away.
I recently had the occasion to go through the slides of my children when they were young (for a video for my 32-year-old son's upcoming wedding.) The photos of the young boys picking out and carving pumpkins were charming.
ReplyDeleteNow that looks like fun!
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a cool pumpkin patch, and I love the little wagon.
ReplyDeleteThe best seats were free, they picked 3 people from the stands to come down and sit on the sofa for the second half.
I see more and more churches selling pumpkins lately. Must be a good fundraiser. Looks like she picked out of nice ones.
ReplyDeleteSweet, wonderful memories for everyone.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Kate, for looking back to find out about Mama. I appreciate your comment very much, as I always do.
It's that time of the year! Looks like those two kids might have found the great pumpkin!
ReplyDeleteIconic Minnesotans! Great portraits, Kate.
ReplyDeleteI knew Paul Youngdahl, the senior pastor at Mt. Olivet for many years. He was a year behind me in high school. Unfortunately, he died just recently - of cancer, I believe. Too young!
Nice Sunday evening to you Kate and thank you for your comment on Ida`s photos. She was four when she started in a painting/art group and she is now in the art class of her school. She enjoys drawing and riding and now perhaps will continue also with photograph. It is a joy to see grandchildren to learn and grow :)
ReplyDeleteThis pumpkin habit is coming also here and all those Halloween manners, but not very fast.
It`s amazing to see all those pumpkins in the same place :)
These are classic October photos. You caught the right moment in each image. Well done, Kate.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful fall portrait Kate
ReplyDeleteSuch fun shots! Reminds me that I need to get a pumpkin. :)
