My favorite time of the year is here. Fall is just the beginning of the holiday season. Being here in Orlando, there isn’t much of a transition from Summer to Fall. It’s basically Summer and then when it’s ready to be cold, Mother Nature picks a few days in the year and releases a cold snap. These are by far my favorite days of the year. Being from South Carolina, we always got cooler weather and a change of seasons but now not so much thanks to good ole Florida weather. The weather may not change but my “Fall Attitude” does! I am welcoming this time with open arms with Pumpkin spice candles, Halloween decorations, and my newest tradition- The Pumpkin Patch! Dan and I made our annual (ok, this is only the second year we’ve done it) trip to the Pumpkin Patch here in Orlando. We went to the Pumpkin Patch in Winter Park at St. John Evangelical Lutheran Church. More info about their patch can be found here. While their pumpkins range a bit higher in price, their proceeds are going to the youth ministry to help send their kids on a mission trip to Arizona to help an American Indian tribe. It’s a great cause and if you live in the Orlando area, be sure to check it out.
The had the best selection of pumpkins and while I was wanting to take home a Charlie Brown pumpkin, we settled for a nice plump round one waiting to be gutted out and carved for Halloween!
What are your Halloween traditions?
