Although a bit early for Halloween, on Sunday October 10th, we visited a pumpkin patch on a corner very near Alex's Home. We'd been watching for its seasonal opening after taking Alex to his Sunday bowling outing each week .
Although it had carnival rides as additional attractions, Alex was only interesting in the pumpkins. As soon as we entered he seized a small palm-sized pumpkin from a stack of hay bales in one of the indoor displays. Alex has a fondness for these small pumpkins. Last year he continued to carry one around with him throughout his days into November 2020. Even when he picked up the wooden balls to roll on the portable bowling alley Frank made for him, he did not put down that mini-pumpkin.
It was only fitting that we get him a fresh palm-sized pumpkin for 2021. As we walked among the hay bales we also got a larger pumpkin that Alex picked up by himself and carried around by the stem. Good thing it was not huge. Alex posed with his pumpkins.
It was a beautiful day and we had a low-key, enjoyable stroll.
