The Pumpkin Patch

The Pumpkin Patch

It’s been a busy week,
this first week of October.

But the best way to begin was with a visit
to the Pumpkin patch
at least, in my opinion.

Amidst raking leaves,
planting garlic,
Cleaning the garden

The pumpkin patch calls
With a cheerfulness
that makes me smile.

The miracle of these
amazing spheres of
colour,
From the gift of a seed, broken

Brings joy to a weary soul.

I’m thanking God
for pumpkins.

(and farmers, and blue sky, and pumpkin pie).

Thanksgiving blessings to you and yours.
