Visit to a farm in Orange: Mums, and pumpkins, and doughnuts, oh my!

My daughter Allegra and I took an autumn field trip today all the way from Ansonia's hilltop to Derby-Milford Road in Orange to visit Sunflower Farm. 
Actually it was less than five miles; I'm just kidding about the field trip.

It was our first time there and we enjoyed ourselves. We took some photos and bought a pumpkin, purple mums, and cider doughnuts.

Mums! Lots of 'em!

Pumpkins!

If you are in the neighborhood, I suggest you stop in and say hi. It's a friendly place! We'll definitely be going back.
