B and I just made our first visit to Wilson Farms in Lexington a couple of weeks ago. How in the world have we not visited this gem sooner? Talk about feeding the pumpkin lust! Yes, this means that you should stop here if you don’t want to see more pictures of pumpkins.

My favorites were the blue pumpkins and fairytale pumpkins, and we brought back one of each. Here’s our little pumpkin family (the small white pumpkins are actually from the supermarket):
