We traveled to Amish country yesterday and I snagged some big pumpkins!
And I found this cute, heavy black cat sprinkler at a thrift shop.
Don't eat my flowers black cat doorstop!
We bought a bunch of Amish donuts for The Blog Tech. Happy Blog Tech.
I went to a little farm which had it's own little farm stand. There wasn't much there except for candy onions and garlic. Candy onions are one of my new favorite things. I asked the farmer if he had anything else for sale. He asked what I wanted and I said chickens.
Bingo, he had just butchered some on Thursday. Tasty chicken dishes will be made this week.
He had just picked some new potatoes too.
And where there are chickens, there are eggs. I don't know if there is anything I love more than fresh eggs.
Scored pie pumpkins too!

We used to go down into Indiana, a little over an hour's drive, into Amish country, and buy eggs, baked goods, and produce, but haven't gotten to do so for the past couple of years. I miss our Fall day trips. So thanks for sharing yours!!

Very few around here have chickens so fresh eggs are hard to get I'm afraid. But I never miss a chance to get some when I find any :-)
I've never even heard of candy onions before.
Have a great day!

those are lovely pumpkins, and a great door stop!Looks right at home with you,
I'm not even going to *think* about the Amish donuts. -grin- "Get theeee behind me satan." -chuckle-
How about my idea of rubbing a bit of hot sauce on pumpkins, to keep 'critters' from eating them? Or would the sauce, mess with the pumpkin looks? Or make 'em get soft?
