Kats’ Korner: Stay Strong, Changing Seasons, Harvest Moon Pumpkin Patch
October 5, 2015 Leave a comment
“I learned that it is the weak who are cruel and that gentleness is to be expected only from the strong.”–Leo Rosten
It takes a strong person to stay silent and walk away from those that choose to be confrontational and rude. This quote reminds me that strong individuals are silent, not being mean and hurtful to others.
I believe everyone, at one time or another, has had someone that seems to enjoy being mean and hurtful towards them. Throughout life, I have discovered being the same way towards them only escalates the situation, never resolving a situation, only making matters worse.
It took me getting older, and hopefully wiser, to realize I don’t like drama in my life. I am much happier not addressing argumentative people. Their anger is not my anger, their drama is not my drama. Walking away, staying silent, takes away the fuel needed to keep the anger and drama going.
Every day is a blessing from God. Every morning, I smile upon waking up, remember all of what I am thankful for, begin my day with happiness and a smile on my face.
I hope that my few words have enlightened those with anger and drama in their lives. I know I have become a stronger person the last few years, finding peace in my life.

Autumn has arrived. I have to say I do enjoy the colors of autumn, but I don’t care for colder weather. I have been busy decorating the house with new fall decorations. Harvest has started. Farmers are busy bringing in their crops, working hard all hours of the day and night, to feed everyone. Keep them in your prayers! Remember to thank a farmer for all of their hard work.
I enjoy the heat of summer. But, to each season, there is beauty to bestow. Winter will be upon us before we know it and the snow will fly. I enjoy watching a light snowfall, especially at Christmas time. I will be honest and say, I don’t enjoy the snow the rest of the season, or the cold!
Spring is a beautiful season as well. The grass becoming a beautiful green carpet, leaves springing to life on trees, flowers blooming in every color imaginable. The farmers planting their crops to grow and harvest in the fall.
As the Bible, Ecclesiastes 3 says: To every thing there is a season and a time to every purpose under the heaven.
We are all fortunate to enjoy every season, the seasons of our lives.

We had our granddaughter, Penelope, over the weekend. She is 10 months old. She is adorable. Yes, we would be prejudice. We love being grandparents!
We took her to the Harvest Moon Pumpkin Patch just north of Oakland Saturday night. She is too little to enjoy much of it, but we had fun taking her. She won’t remember, but we took several pictures we can show her when she is older. It was a great day for us to remember and cherish always!
We did take her for a ride on the go carts, went through the corn maze, walked all over, seeing many people we knew. It was very busy! We stopped for a snack and, before we left, bought her a big pumpkin to carve later!
Thanks Terry Wallerstedt and family for all the work you do, providing such a beautiful place to enjoy the autumn season. We had a wonderful time!
Thought for the day: Enjoy the seasons of your life. Remember, stay strong!
Have a great week!

Harvest Moon Pumpkin Patch Opens Tomorrow
September 19, 2014 Leave a comment
There is no better place to enjoy the fall season than Harvest Moon Pumpkin Patch. Tomorrow, September 20th is the opening day at the pumpkin patch, located two miles north of Oakland on highway 77 at Mark and Terry Wallerstedt’s.
Harvest Moon Pumpkin Patch began seven years ago, hosting barn dances and selling some pumpkins. Since then, there has been much more added, providing visitors with endless fun.
“The barn has been remodeled. Josh (their son) did the work with some of his friends, along with repairing the roof,” Terry said. “We also added a childhood grocery store area this year.”
There is another new attraction that those considering marriage may want to look into. “We have a new wedding area that couples can book for their wedding,” Terry stated.
There are many other attractions for those of all ages. “There are pedal go karts, trikes, dress up barn, zip line, jumping pillow, animals and bon fire pits,” Terry said.
Terry has some special events planned to provide even more entertainment. “On October 11th there will be a barn dance. I am also looking into having a magician come, but am not sure of the date yet,” Terry stated.
The hours of operation are Fridays from 12:30-6:00 p.m. and Saturdays and Sundays from 12:30-8:00 p.m.
“We also accept reservations during the week for private birthday parties or school parties,” Terry said.
To make a reservation, or for further information, call Terry at 402-685-5409 or 402-380-1730.

Harvest Moon Pumpkin Patch, located two miles north of Oakland, will be up and running soon, literally.
“On Saturday, September 13th we are hosting a Punkin Run,” stated Terry Wallerstedt, owner of Harvest Moon Pumpkin Patch.
There will be two runs, the 5K begins at 9:30 a.m. and a one mile that starts at 10:00 a.m. There is an entry fee of $30 to participate in the 5K and $18 for the mile. There aren’t any age groups, and entrants don’t have to run. “They can run or crawl if they want to,” Terry said.
There will be prizes given for contestants in each division. “First, second and third place will receive medals,” Terry stated.
One third of the proceeds will benefit the BackPack Program. “Food is provided to the school for children whom qualify to take home for the weekend. 55 kids were served last year during the school year,” Terry said.
Those competing will also receive a free pass to the pumpkin patch. For family and fans of those racing, the fee is $5.25. The pumpkin patch will be open from 9:00-1:30 p.m. on race day.
If you wish to register online, go to Active.com and you will also receive a free dri-fit t-shirt.
