In the spirit of the best season ever, I thought today would be the perfect day to talk about pumpkins. Pumpkin patches are my favorite way to kick off autumn and that's especially true this year. A lot of the normal things we're used to haven't been possible, but thankfully, the great outdoors isn't canceled. Let's go find the perfect pumpkin, friends!
