Autumnal Avocations

[prodigious-mage.livejournal.com]

Who: Open to all!
What: Miscellaneous activities
When: Friday, 10/21
Where: Farmer Carol's farm.
How: ...Walking, running, skipping, or log-rolling are all acceptable.
Why: Because I want to.

As Palom had promised, the farm indeed boasted more wholesome family fun activities than you could shake an apple at.  While the main purpose of the day trip, ostensibly, was to finish up harvesting the fruit, the opportunity to explore the farm and its rural surroundings was enticing as well.  By mid-afternoon, Farmer Carol was fully satisfied with the hard work of the volunteers and announced that they were free to do as they pleased.

Oh! I'm sorry for distracting you. You're not hurt or anything, are you?

No, I'm fine. See?

[He shows her his hands.]

It's not your fault. I'll take it a little slower next time.

[Rose breathes a sigh of relief.]

That's good! I feel sorry for that pumpkin, though.

[She looks down at her own and starts carving at it again, as if trying to make up for it.]

[He starts on another himself, more carefully this time.]

Maybe it doesn't have to go to waste. I could bring it back to my apartment and try to cook something with it.

[healeveryone]

Oh, that's a good idea. That sounds like it'd be really tasty.

[starstrikes.livejournal.com]

It could be.

…Um, what do people normally make with pumpkins? Aside from pumpkin pie.

[healeveryone]

How about soup? Or maybe use it with some pasta.

There is enough here to experiment with. I can try a few different things.

[healeveryone]

There's definitely plenty of pumpkins around here. I hope you get to make something good!
