Labor Day here was overcast and much cooler than the rest of the weekend, which made it the perfect day to go to Bob's Corn and Pumpkin Farm, which despite the name is known at this time of year for its vast sunflower fields. We walked among enormous sunflowers and thousands of zinnias, where there were many props and spots set up with selfie stands for family photos. We got to climb on historic farm equipment, sit in a bathtub, and pose in picture frames after being driven through the corn and pumpkin patches being prepared for the upcoming corn maze and jack-o-lantern season. We also got a bunch of locally made food in the farm store.
On the way back from Snohomish, where Bob's Farm is located, we stopped at Safeway for cat food and other weekly necessities. We had watched the beginning of the Orioles ultimate victory over the White Sox before we left -- 13-3! -- and when we got home, we put on the Mariners game, though regrettably that one ended with a walk off home run by Oakland. Paul made veggie cheesesteaks for dinner after finding the ingredients at Safeway. We just watched The American Society of Magical Negroes, which is simultaneously hilarious and upsetting; the acting is great, as is the casting, and I appreciate the cynicism of the script.
