As for the rest of the celebrating--
Regular readers will remember that I posted last month about how Autumn is my favorite season. Well, it is also J's favorite season (though I think football and the approaching basketball season might have more to do with that than, say, the beautiful weather and great decorating opportunities...), so he's usually willing to play along when I feel the call to celebrate the season.
Today's adventure took us to a local pumpkin farm and corn maze. We had a great time and sucessfully completed both mazes (seriously, follow the link to check out the maze--it's really impressive) in close to record time 
(much faster than the families with young children we buzzed right by and the group of college students who couldn't find the right path even when we showed them) and still had time for JE to scale a straw pyramid (no children were harmed in her ascent, either). Check back tomorrow to see pics of the fall accecssories we picked up for the front porch!After conquering the corn maze, we headed over to the Athens Antiques Show. Like the antique show where we found our mantel last month, this one only comes around once a month. The Athens show is in the old Athens Elementary School and there are different folks set up in the old classrooms, gymnasium, library, hallways, etc. J and I found a couple of cool cabinets that transform into dining tables, and plan to check out their credentials before the next show. We also found several fireplace screens (my great plan for hiding the fact that we don't actually have a fireplace) and neat vintage textiles (I'll write more about why I care about vintage textiles another time!) Many thanks to JE's mom and dad for the antiques book--it is already serving its purpose!
I hope you are all having a great weekend! We will be celebrating another successful week on the $100 Challenge at Harry's tomorrow afternoon!

Quick questions here. Do they plant the corn in a maze like that or do they mow it down or disk it early on. I always figured that they mowed the maze out but from the looks of your pics there is no stuble. Second question is more like a favor. If you all go back if you don't care ask the people at the maze what kinda corn it is (not "field" or "sweet", need name and numbers please) and what kinda population they planted it at. It is still standing good being as green and thick as it is with all the wind.
Thank you much.
No need to send a prize, mail only runs here once a week (and thats with no holidays) and we try to keep from over load'n the mail lady's jeep.
Wow, I had no idea I would spark such interest! I just sent an email to the farm, and I'll be sure and update as soon I hear back!
I was wondering the same thing. Have you heard back from the farm yet?
