Swans...oooops, Gourds!






















I had a field day at Schartner Farms last Sunday. It was a perfect, and I mean perfect fall afternoon on the farm. There were hay rides, kids everywhere, pumpkins, mums, and gourds galore. I could not help but revert back to thoughts of my warm summer days, remembering the great show that the swans offered up. These gourds MUST BE swans in disguise, certainly!

Hi Amy, thanks for the comment.
Rhode Island is beautiful, we'll definitely visit it again. We haven't toured all the mansions when we went there bec. we didn't have much time.
See you around! Your pictures are beautiful too,,,seriously. :-)
