Hey Butterflies. For the first time last year we took the kiddo to a pumpkin patch; I hadn't been since I was a kid so we all had a great time. If you're looking for something fun to do with the entire family and you want to get out and enjoy the Texas fall weather; Old Time Christmas Tree Farm hosts a pumpkin patch every October. Once inside you can purchase pumpkins and carving accessories and/or tickets for their super fun attractions. There's a Train, Hayride, Petting Zoo (Saturdays & Sundays only), Giant Slide, Mini Slide, Inflatable Corn Maze, Bounce House, and Jump Pad. Also, enjoy some Tex Mex, Shaved Ice, or Funnel Cakes in the shade in their Picnic Area. 

Music: My Top Five Tom Petty Songs

October is really starting off kind of shitty. I'm still trying to wrap my head around what happened in Vegas last night and then today one of my favorite rock artist passes away...smh.. I don't remember the moment I became a fan of Tom Petty but I do remember it was because of "Free Fallin'"; ironically " I’m gonna free fall out into nothin’. Gonna leave this world for awhile." is my favorite lyric on the track.
