Disclaimer: We wore our masks, and I took mine off in order to take these fabulous photos. Then, I put it back on :)
As a lifelong NJ native, I have to admit I’ve always admired the usual fall activities, but wasn’t a major participant, until this year. Covid (aka “The Ronies”) has really put a lot of things into perspective, and with a limited amount of activities to partake in, I wasn’t about to let such simple ones pass me by.
The pumpkin patch was an annual field trip in elementary school. Any field trip was exciting, but not all of them came with souvenirs! Selecting the right pumpkin came at the end of our trip, after the hayride, and cider. We never carved pumpkins at home, but having a nice pumpkin sitting on the table for a few weeks was one of those simple pleasures that children enjoy. In fact, I now have several pumpkins throughout my home.
This year, I decided to take an apple picking, and pumpkin patch field trip, but the day we went to the orchards, the apples weren’t ripe, so we could only get pumpkins. We had to go back two weeks later for apples. Of course, this was a photoshoot opportunity, and having two different outfits for two separate trips was an added bonus. We visited Eastmont Orchards in Colts Neck. I’ve passed by numerous times, and the traffic to get in on the weekends is insane. Luckily, not having a full time job ensured I could get weekday visits.
