Shoot for Saturday

pumpkins at Golden Harvest

When we stopped for a cider donut yesterday at Golden Harvest in Valatie, the pumpkins were out.

Sure, today is cold(er) and gray. And we had to dig out a sweater. And we had to turn a light on in the office this afternoon. But the weather's looking better for the weekend -- well, one of the days, at least.

The paraphrased forecast:

Friday: Some sun. Warmer. High around 70.
Saturday: Sunny. Calm. High around 75. Shaping up like a perfect late summer/early fall day
Sunday: Cooler. Cloudy. Probably some rain.

So, Saturday is the day.

Saturday is the PERFECT day to attend SPAC's 10th Annual Wine & Food and Fall Ferrari Festival! 4 hours of the best wine and food from around the world, not to mention some seriously hot cars. Or, for you Night Owls, come to the Aperitivo Afterpart sponsored by Ketel One, featuring food by Chianti head chef Fabrizio!

It's going to be a great day to be at SPAC!

Oh no! When you see those pumpkins, you know summer really is gone. It's a sad, sad day. Oh well, guess there's nothing more to do but get the camera out and capture some fall foliage!

When my husband and I lived in Albany, we made the hour and a half drive out to Pick a Pumpkin (http://www.pickapumpkin.com/) specifically for their cider doughnuts. We usually had one when we got there... one while picking our pumpkins... one after we were done picking pumpkins... and then purchased half a dozen to bring home.
