This is the view at an intersection a mile or two from my house. I've always loved this particular area as there are farms and tree lined streets, a gorgeous midwest fall shot. The next two shots are going down that road. At the next intersection there's a farm on the corner where during the summer you can buy corn on the cob picked from the field. Just drop some money in the box. Same with the pumpkins in the fall.
Choose your pumpkins, or buy some Indian Corn...
This is Lakeshore Drive, the road I live off of. There are tons of trees, they are not all changing quite yet. In the winter the snow looks so beautiful.
Saturday was a beautiful fall day, so we went to Stade's Farm Market in Spring Grove, IL. Now, I had no idea this place was so big, I thought it was just a farmer's market. I was surprised to see so much to do for the kids and so many great fresh veggies at pretty good prices! I went back the next day and bought some tomatoes and they were fabulous!
Some hot chocolate from the market and one last look at the giant pumpkins...
Their prices are high on their pumpkins, bales and corn stalks. So that's why we ended up stopping at the local farmer's wagon in our neighborhood.
There were fun things to do, including launching corn cobs at targets, shooting pumpkins out of a cannon, hay rides, pick your pumpkins, a haunted house for little ones, and a corn maze.
Overall a really nice day~
