Finest Pumpkins and Art in the West - Half Moon Bay CA, Oct 7 - 10, Oct 15-16


The Pumpkin Festival starts up in Half Moon Bay this coming weekend - October 7. I have a lot of fond memories that go back to the 1970's of visiting this annual event. And it doesn't get much more beautiful than the San Mateo County coastline.

Road to Half Moon Bay - Sanchez Farm (field trip)

Stock blooming at Sanchez Farm
Highway 92 cuts across one of the narrower sections of the Santa Cruz Mountains, past Skyline Boulevard and then on down to Half Moon Bay. Before reaching our destination we stopped off to buy peaches and admire the in-bloom stocks.

Frost nearly there, on the Half Moon Bay Punkins

Click on the illustration above to more fully enjoy these Half Moon Bay punkins!
We lunched with Aimee!
Pumpkin patches on the way home,
Show their fall colors

excerpted from  "When the Frost is on the Punkin" by James Whitcomb Riley  
They’s something kindo’ harty-like about the atmusfere
When the heat of summer’s over and the coolin’ fall is here—
Of course we miss the flowers, and the blossums on the trees,
And the mumble of the hummin’-birds and buzzin’ of the bees;
But the air’s so appetizin’; and the landscape through the haze
Of a crisp and sunny morning of the airly autumn days
Is a pictur’ that no painter has the colorin’ to mock—
When the frost is on the punkin and the fodder’s in the shock.



Three cheers for the San Benito House Deli on Main Street in Half Moon Bay with it's lovely outdoor seating
 I vote for the Olive Walnut bread every time!

Half Moon Bay Harbor


Driving to the coast
Too long no water views
Half Moon Bay Harbor sings
