I have to admit we really had a fun old time on Saturday. It was the perfect Seattle autumn day - sunshine, blue sky, not too cold, trees turning. It is the kind of day that sends Rob galloping off for his camera bag. Perfect day for pumpkin shopping. Following our usual tradition of doing things the hard way, we did not pick one up at PCC or at the farmer's market, where we went first on Saturday morning. But we drove half of an hour to South 47 Farm to pick out perfection. Well, at least good enough. The pumpkins in our house are the realm of Rob and the kids so they did the pickin'. Then girls and boys split up so girls could do the corn maze and boys the tractor ride. Lucy and I somehow made it out of there. Seat of our pants, that's how we operate... And it usually works out ok.
But that wasn't the end of our fun, no... On our way back home, we went on a quick bike ride on the Burke Gilman trail. Then to make our day a little too perfect, Pop Pop and Grandma Gloria came over to babysit while we went to check out the new restaurant, Poppy. Well, we didn't think we were going there because we couldn't get a reservation, but we mosied up to Capital Hill and after a glass of wine at the Deluxe, Rob crossed the street to Poppy, and lo and behold, several parties were late for their reservations so we squeezed in... Anyway, it was delicious food and the perfect crowd for a date night. Not a soul in the place under the age of 21.
We got some good shots at the pumpkin farm and of the pumpkins Rob carved last night... with help from kids.

I love your photos, especially the birds in flight.
Very cool!
I love the photo of the corn stalks and crows! It should be framed!
And did Lucy get a hair cut? Looks very nice.
Are you guys going to come out in November?
