Fall's Coming!

So I went for a bike ride today down by the beach. Quick aside, it's kind of nice to be able to say that. Especially because the beach, she is flat. Not a big fan mixing the bike with hills at this weight. Maybe when I drop 50 pounds.

Anywho, I'm zipping along enjoying the sites when suddenly I see the pumpkin patch pictured above. I only had my iPhone with me so these are the best pictures I could get but can you see the size of these pumpkins? They're massive! Linus, I believe, would be impressed. The Great Pumpkin indeed.

Now the funny thing is, our next-next door neighbor has a pumpkin patch in their backyard with even larger pumpkins. I'm not sure what it is about Connecticut and massive pumpkins. Apparently it's the thing to do.

For those interested (I'm looking at you Mom and Dad) the bike ride was 13 miles. About 45 minutes. So I'm still exercising.

Happy Fall Ya'll!

Wow. Impressive, especially since I appear to be incapable of growing pumpkins at all.

Must be something in the water up here. I'm getting bigger too.

Impressive!!! Both the bike ride AND the pumpkins! You'll be glad to know that the speech is being played at school next week and Lucia IS watching it! :-)
