After a stop at the Phil Foster farm stand this afternoon, the husband and I headed over to San Juan Bautista via the back roads. On Prescott Road, we came across a field of glorious pumpkins out "standing" in their field. Many of them were huge!
Hollister, California is a real town that has been around since the 1870s. Unlike the fictional town created by a corporate clothing company, Hollister is no where near a beach. The town is about 45 miles east of the Pacific Ocean. Seagulls occasionally make their way over the mountains. Hopefully, they are able to find their way back.
Wow,wow,that was really big pumpkin
ReplyDeleteA real pumpkin patch, wow! It scares me actually. I have a love hate relationship with pumpkins patches. I think that whole Peanuts and the Halloween Pumpkin patch thingy when I was a kid messed up my head. I know I ned therapy, but that's expensive. I live here in Brooklyn and so I only see pumpkins in cans on a supermarket shelves - so I'm cool.
ReplyDeleteHappy Monday.

ReplyDeleteSo, on with the show. Here's my comment from 9/21:
Coffeeveggie addict, I wasn't sure if the photos really showed how big the pumpkins were. I'm glad you've let me know. They were a wonderful surprise to come upon.
Haupi, I think if the pumpkins weren't orange, they would scare me too. I don't think I would like to come across them in the night. That would be spooky. Whoooooooo! :-)
