The blue sky set it off nicely. I was lucky it was such a gorgeous day when we went there this year.
Love that pumpkin sign — a true piece of Americana!
Thanks, Rusha! I’m glad I decided to include this one in the challenge. Even though the sign itself is nothing fancy, the pumpkin makes it unmistakable.
