Oh Gourd, it’s Fall! Time for pumpkin patching, hay riding, corn mazing and cider drinking! Seriously, Fall is my JAM so I am gonna snitch on some pumpkin patches you need check out. It’s a great time to get outside because it’s not a bajillion degrees outside. Why is Texas hotter than the Sun? Why do we carve up vegetables with faces? Why do we race through stalks of corn? These are questions we will never have answers to. Whatevs. Just grab your family and friends and head over to some of these great patches for some fall festiveness.
