Mondays should always be like this...

We've been blessed with one of the most magnificent late Summer / early Fall periods that I can remember. Like all good things, this too was coming to an end and the writing was on the wall. With 70s for the weekend and me scheduled to head back to Casper, I caught a glimpse of the weather forecast which showed an 80 degree Monday followed by 8 - 10 inches of snow on Wednesday. Having stockpiled some vacation, I decided to take a day off and enjoy what could be the last fling for Summer temps.

We started the morning off with a trip to the local pumpkin patch, hoping to catch small crowds. Here are some pics from our adventure to the Rocky Mountain Pumpkin Patch on the west side of Longmont.
