\"R4\"<\/a>My mom has made it a tradition to come visit me the first weekend of September and we spend the day together in Rochester at the Art & Apples Festival<\/a>.  <\/p>\n

Here are few pics of the day… <\/p>\n

Aren’t these designer pumpkins fantastic?  Apparently Bob from Backyard Bouquet Farm<\/a> created this snazzy variety by mixing pumpkins & winter squash.  They’re also known for their gorgeous sunflowers<\/a>.<\/p>\n

My mom & I both bought these spider stands… perfect for a designer<\/em> pumpkin!\"R2\"<\/a> <\/p>\n

Sticking with the spooky theme, my mom also bought this whimsical witch.  Isn’t it funny how feathers add so much personality?  I thought that turkey (in the background on the right)<\/em> was equally amusing.  No surprise, the artist’s company name was Giggles.\"R3\"<\/a> <\/p>\n

Another find of the day was this lovely butter dish handmade by Becky Rotter of Sodus, Michigan.\"R6\"<\/a> <\/p>\n

And I discovered the work of Gregg Laatsch<\/a>… so fun & playful.<\/p>\n
