Punkin farm today!
I printed out a list of Chicagoland pumpkin farms and, after reading the list and looking them over online, I chose Goebberts in South Barrington. It was about a 45 minute drive there but there's no charge to just wander the grounds. Your fees come when you want to eat there or ride the rides they have going on all day. Plus, they have been open for fall business since September 24th unlike the other pumpkin farms whose opening day was today. A few less people.
It's chilly. There is a stiff north by northwest wind. If you're out of that, the air temperature is cool. It was clear as I got there but clouded up and that made the wind feel raw. Still, I spent a good 45 minutes wandering all over the place.

It was a very profitable trip. No, I haven't eaten all the donuts. They have a cinnamon sugar coating that is a bit crunchy and are way too sweet to sit down and eat the entire dozen. They will be perfect for breakfasts over the next few days.
I'm going to be out and about in the next week. I'm going to keep an eye out for farm stands or other pumpkin farms on my travels. If worse comes to worse, in a couple weeks, I'll go back to Goebberts and get a punkin there. Maybe one of these.
Beverage: English Breakfast tea
