Let's Go to the Farmers' Market!

This month we went on a field trip to pick pumpkins 


to feed some chickens, 


to do a little harvesting,


to make delicious pumpkin and apple and blueberry pies, 



and to buy and sell all sorts of yummy stuff.  


And the best part was that we didn't even have to get in the car because we went to the Saint Andrews Farmers' Market, conveniently located in the Storytime Room!


We started with a few terrific stories and songs.







We tried to guess what was in the the Mystery Basket.  Most were pretty easy, but what is that funny shaped veggie?  Oh, it's Sophie's Squash!  A yummy fall vegetable and a great book to read!



We make pretty good farmers, and who knew it would be so much fun to rake leaves...


or take selfies with chickens?
