City One: Half Moon Bay
Pumpkins from Apple Hill. This years crop looked especially colorful, and a bit larger than last year. I keep expecting to see an Apple Hill pumpkin win biggest pumpkin in the annual Half Moon Bay Pumpkin weigh-off, but alas the official pumpkin this year was grown in Oregon, and weighed in at 1,775 lbs. The Half Moon Bay Pumpkin Festival is next weekend, and we haven't decided if we are going yet, but we will be in Half Moon Bay sometime before the end of October, and I am really looking forward to seeing the winning pumpkin in person. I will have to try adding pumpkins to my garden next year, we'll see.

City Two: Zanesville Ohio
About 18 years ago, Alan and I flew to the east coast to spend October with family. His parents had moved back there about a year earlier, and we missed them terribly, so what better way to spend our favorite month than by spending our favorite month with them. The autumn in Ohio was amazing! Crimson, deep gold and hints of purple filled the landscape. I took a lot of pictures with my old film camera, and each one told a tale all on it's own.
One late Sunday afternoon, Alan and I went out for a ride. It was just the two of us, looking for adventure with our cameras, when sure enough... we found it! We came to the end of a road near Zanesville, Ohio, that gave us a choice. Would we take the safe road, or would we continue our journey down a road that at least hints at it's own possible evil ends?
Someday I will share what we decided, but for now, tell me, how many roads have you been on in life that gave you such an honest choice?
Possibly Safe?
Possibly Evil?
What to do... What to do?

This is so cool. "Would we take the safe road, or would we continue our journey down a road that at least hints at it's own possible evil ends?"
Which road? lol A choice made pretty often in life.
Play it safe or go to the edge one more time?
Lately I have been really working on going past my edge.
Seems I've taken Frost's "Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference." to heart.
