A Maize Maze

Although Halloween will look different this year, there are family traditions we can continue in 2020. For instance, we were able to navigate our way around the Pumpkinville Big Corn Maze for our fifth year.


We wore our masks to buy tickets and treats, but it was easy to keep our distance from others inside the maze.


The Mystery Van maze design was pretty complicated, and it took us three hours to walk it all.


I was dressed for the event.


A hole punch is usually used to mark your card at each station, but they made the maze touch-free this year by having you fill in letters as you find them. 


Here's 10-E.


If you haven't been in a corn maze, it looks like this:


We enjoyed another autumn tradition when we got home. I made chili for dinner, and it had been simmering in the crockpot since noon. Chili can be made anytime during the year, but the meal doesn't work for me in the spring or summer. I won't dust off our family recipe until October arrives. The comforting aroma greeted us like an old friend when we opened the door. 

"Oh, it smells so good in here," Daphne commented as she laid her coat on the kitchen counter. I just smiled at her. 


I love the fall.
