I picked up some pie pumpkins that I am going to roast and make my own pumpkin puree. I cannot wait for that!
Here is a picture of my mom and grandma (92) at the pumpkin farm. It really is a beautiful place. It is hard to believe that I grew up in Morton, and I cannot remember ever going to a pumpkin patch! Mom, did we ever go? I am so glad that I got to experience it now. Ackerman Farms is just outside of Morton on 150. Get off on the Goodfield Exit and take 150 towards Morton, you cannot miss it! You will probably get to see my mama, and she might even take you on a hay rack ride! They are only open through Halloween, so you better hurry!
