a dreary day at the pumpkin patch with frida and pigs and goats and rabbits, oh my!

a dreary day at the pumpkin patch with frida and pigs and goats and rabbits, oh my! I.

some years you get great weather when you visit the local pumpkin patch and some years, not so much!

and this year instead of grandparents, we brought frida so instead of tromping around the pumpkin patch together in between rain showers i took one for the team and wandered around the farm while kris and odin got wet and picked pumpkins 🙂

i briefly thought the bigger pig might be grumpy but it was all good.

the goats were all “HEY! COME BACK! I THINK WE CAN HAVE FUN!”

the rabbits were all “nope. nope. nope.” frida really, really wanted them to make a run for it 🙂

MOAR PIGGIES! i think frida was not so happy that i wouldn’t let her get in the pen and slog around in the mug.

i planned on getting a bunch more pictures of odin and actual pumpkins and such but it started raining so frida and i made a break for the car. hi. ho. next year!

i’m bummed i didn’t get any pictures of our first flock of chickens who are now living out their years running around the pumpkin patch.

we’re still harvesting the bounty from the labors of the cosmos organicos garden collective so frida had her first chance to survey the splendor!

you can see ongoing work after the fire on the organic valley headquarters in the background. hopefully when we plant next year all the work will be done!

frida goes for her first ride in the galaxie 500!

frida goes for her first ride in the galaxie 500! I.

thanks to a long time reader who sent us a canon point and shoot, odin and i have a camera loaded with the canon hack development kit and a script that will shoot continuous interval shots for our kite aerial photography rig! but we’ve been waiting for weeks and weeks for blustery day without storm clouds to fly the kite.

i went on a 13 miles in stiff winds and thought it was finally a perfect day to try it out. odin was at hockey so he wasn’t going to be able to go, but i gathered up the gear frida and i jumped in the galaxie 500 and went racing to a nearby hill.

frida was very happy to go for a ride in the old ford and was particularly intrigued by the colorful kite.

but alas, by the time we made it out to the hill the winds had died down with the late afternoon sun just as we arrived. hi. ho.

i sure hope we get a chance take some shots before the snow flies.

and now i know frida is happy to along for the adventure!
