Fall is Here…Let’s Go Pick Pumpkins!

by on ‎09-25-2014 01:32 PM

As a child, my mother would take my sisters and I to a local farm, Linvilla Orchards. We would have so much fun in Pumpkin Land and would take a ride on a tractor pull hay ride and walk around and enjoy the season. Linvilla also hosts a small farm with animals that we would pet and feed. Linvilla Orchards has a wonderful market, and my sisters and I would get to choose one treat while we were there visiting. My fall favorite—caramel apples!! The candy apples are just too sticky and get stuck in my teeth!! I guess that is why I love the fall to this day.  


While we were visiting Linvilla Orchards, my sisters and I all got to pick out our favorite pumpkin to take home. Well I would always pick out the biggest pumpkin, but for some reason my Mom wouldn’t let me take it home…maybe with a car full of kids the biggest pumpkin just wouldn’t fit in the car. Who knows!!



And now, so many years later, my youngest sister, Vickie, and I take her children there to have the great fun that we used to have when we were kids!!




To this day, I love anything pumpkin—coffee, cake, pie, muffins, ice cream…you name it, and I like it!! Not only do I love the fall and pumpkins, but also Halloween. I have already started my decorating!!




Does anyone recognize this tree and ornaments?? These are the from the Quacker Factory home collection we had a few years ago. I love this tree, it reminds me of Jeanne!



I got my love of the fall and pumpkins from my Mom, but I got my zest for Halloween decorating from Jeanne and Susan. I have learned so much from these two. 



But one of my MOST favorite things in the fall is Quacker Factory’s FALL-O-WEEN SHOW!!!! On Sunday, September 28th, from 4-6 pm ET we will be hosting a live studio audience. We will be joined by many of our favorite Quackers along with my good friend Patrick Hoy and the beautiful hosts—Jayne Brown & Jennifer Coffey as the audience host. What wonderful surprises will be in store this year??? Well I guess you will just have to tune in to find out!
