    Zano's first pumpkin patch

    We took baby Zano to our local pumpkin patch this weekend! I really enjoyed taking him, he was so observant of all the little kids running around and wanted to touch all the pumpkins.  It was always a tradition in our families to go to the pumpkin patch every year and it feels amazing passing even the littlest tradition on to this new family of mine.  I know Zano couldn’t actually pick out a pumpkin, but documenting his first trip is something we will reminisce once he’s older.

    Speaking of pumpkins, this weekend was the first time it really felt like Fall.  It rained on Saturday, which I must have sensed was coming because I actually covered up our patio set just the other day!

    Here’s our patio set, sans party, sans appetizers, sans anythign pretty really.  We made a valiant attempt last year to cover it, but ended up just bringing the cushions inside all winter.  This year I was all bent on getting a patio cover for the set, as with all things I own, I like to prolong it’s life as long as possible.

    Classic Accessories reached out to me and asked if I’d like to give their patio covers a test run.  Why yes, yes I would! They sent me the medium sized patio cover in gray.

    I’ll be honest, I’ve never worked with a patio cover before, mainly because I’ve never actually had a back yard to call my own! I totally feel like a responsible adult now that my patio set is covered :)

    Their cover was so easy to use. It’s fashioned with ties and those bungee tightening cable thingys, using both really got a perfect fit around our entire patio set.

    It might go without saying, but covering your patio furniture will seriously extend the life of your patio set.  You can always find a reasonable cover at your local shop, but if you’re in the market, I highly recommend checking out Classic Accessories.  It rained on Saturday and our patio set stayed nice and dry, for that I am a happy camper.

    1. How cute is he? How old is he? We took Penelope about a week ago, she’s almost 12 months and she was in her own zone. Totally zoned out running through pumpkins after pumpkins. It’s funny how fast babies change their first year.

    2. What a great post! Thank you for the reminder – I have a set that needs covering too. Fall is HERE – time to winterize :)
