I swear I do this every single year: spend all of fall saying I’m gonna go to the pumpkin patch, then suddenly it’s basically Halloween and I’m scrambling to make it happen. At this point, being fashionably late to pumpkin season might just be part of my personality.

But I WILL get my pumpkin, my cider donut, and my unnecessary amount of fall photos before the season’s over.

Better late than never. Let’s make some plans…
