Today was a fun day. It was our 2nd day off before working Wed and Thurs, and we had been couch potatoes all day. I decided it was time to go get our pumpkin for the fall. I reluctantly put the windows on the Jeep, our dog carrying car, and we piled in with the mutts to go up the mountain.
We started up HWY 14 and drove through Landrum then Tryon before we finally headed up to Saluda in search of our pumpkin.
THE LEAVES WERE JUST BEAUTIFUL!
It got more colorful the further up we drove. Presley was sprawled out on the back seat, and Jasper was perched on the glove console box looking out the windows. We were about a mile from Saluda up in the "big curves" when Martin started yelling for me to pull over. Japper was sick! He got car sick in the curves. So I whipped it over into a big curve, and turned around at the first place I saw which was a little produce stand. There she was! Our pumpkin! They also had lots of jams and spreads and apples, honey, etc...
We not only got our pumpkin, but we spent some time talking to the nice man there and left with Muskidine cider, fresh Saluda Mountain honey, mint apple jam, and vidalia onion steak sauce.
Oh how I love the Carolinas and her mountains...
