PUMPKINS!!!

PUMPKINS!!!
Yesterday we headed out to Amish country with one goal in mind....find the first pumpkins of the year!
All of the garden centers have mums, cornstalks and straw bales.....none had pumpkins.
We passed some interesting characters along the way. Click to enlarge.
We pulled up to an Amish farm market and there they were.
And now they are mine!
Lined up on my table in the rain this morning.  RAIN!  Pumpkins and rain...I am having a wonderful day.



 A friend sent this to me the other day and I just thought it was so perfect!

I'm guessing You're quite happy now :-)
No pumpkins in any stores here yet, I'm pretty sure they won't turn up until just before Halloween. The ones I have are so tiny that I doubt they'll become anything. Next week we usually get the first frost here.

Have a great day!

When I went to the big farmers market over a week ago, they had pumpkins. It is just too early for me to buy them though. :-)
