October has brought so many fun events and happenings at the patch. We have met so many people from near, and far.

I was telling a friend recently, that my favourite part of spending time at the patch is watching the kids enjoy the space. (And also the grown woman who did the splits landing the tube slide last weekend- I really enjoyed that! 🤣) I guess overall, I enjoy the happiness on all our guests faces. (Because really, can you be sad at a pumpkin patch? 🎃)

Last week was our first week hosting school groups for the season. We always look forward to hosting the kids, and we love the joy that comes with even the simplest of activities.

One morning, the school group had gone out to play. I was at the back of the group and happened to come across a young man walking back in my direction. His hood was up, his arms crossed- no smile. I said hello, and got nothing more than a mumble back. Not unlike the response I get from my own children some days!

I thought nothing of it, until a little later, we crossed paths again. I walked by the same young man chatting with a friend. I overheard him say “What a complete waste of time this is.” Same serious expression on his face, hood still up. CLEARLY not enjoying the field trip.

I took no offense to the comment. I for one, know that bad moods happen. Some days just feel like a waste of time, don’t they? Life can be hard- we all have “stuff”, and you just never know what people might have going on behind the scenes. So I gave him a smile and nod, pretended I hadn’t heard what he said, and went about my day.

It wasn’t until about an hour later, that I noticed the same young man, for a third time. Only this time, not only was his hood down, his entire sweater was OFF. He wasn’t standing on the grass with his arms folded, he was blazing down the slide on the combine play-set with his friends. Laughing.

Seeing this, completely made my day. It was an “aha” moment for me. (Huge Oprah fan 🙏) For part of that day, he was able to let loose and have a good time. He forgot about what caused his morning bad mood for just a little bit.

So if you ever find yourself in a “hood up, arms crossed” situation, please learn from this little guy. Find something that brings you joy, even for just an hour. Get outside, call a friend, do whatever it is that makes you forget the bad mood. ❤️
