Wordful Wednesday—The Great Pumpkin!
On with the Halloween-themed posts. I've already covered bats and vampires, both topics being a bit on the scary side (unless you are an Edward lover). So... I thought today's post could be about something more friendly—like pumpkins. So, enjoy a little orangey goodness from these pics!
Our garden produced 36 pumpkins this year. Remember, this is the garden we didn't plant, water, weed, or attend to whatsoever. So... the garden gets all the credit for these babies while we simply get to enjoy them in their many varieties of size, shape, and color!
Gardner Historic Village not only had a plethora of witches milling about. It also provided plenty o' pumpkins to snap pics in front of. Of course, my favorite variety were the pumpkin-shaped sugar cookies. But, didn't get a picture of those. I couldn't wait to eat 'em! Yummmmmmy!
And, here is Red Rover and Chatter Box, done with their sugar cookies and beyond tired of all the picture taking—beautiful pumpkins or not.
Happy Halloween!

How exciting to have a garden full of pumpkins!
I have actually promised the boys that if we get "the new" house we will plant pumpkins in the huge garden in the backyard. :)

You ignored your garden...and that's what you got?? When my girls were in preschool, the school tried to plant their own pumpkins in the hopes of having a pumpkin patch. Yeah, that didn't work so well. We blamed the red clay here...rather than lack of gardening skills. But gardening skills are something that I covet.

The boys look like they are having a great time! I'm impressed at the pumpkins in your garden! Who knew you had a green thumb? LOL
See you at GNO. No, I haven't read Twilight (yes, I'm a loser like that), but maybe I can jump in with some sort of gross vampire stuff anyway! LOL

Man where did you buy your broken green thumb, because even with a broken green thumb I can't grow anything!

October 29, 2008 at 4:01 PM
We've always wanted to have a pumpkin patch! We tried tomatoes for the first time this year. I would love to have my pumpkin patch grow magically like yours!
October 29, 2008 at 6:38 PM
I LOVE that you grew these yourself...so awesome. You totally have The Great Pumpkin Patch.

You didn't tend to your garden yet THAT'S what it produced? I'm definitely not going to show these pictures to my husband (he'd be heartbroken!)
Beautiful pumpkins and your boys look so cute!

I was browsing the Internet searching for help when I came across a testimony shared by someone on how she was cured from Herpes Disease. I quickly contacted him to get the cure. I bought the herbal medicine from the herbal doctor [Robinson Buckler]. I took the herbal medicine for 2 weeks as instructed and i went for a medical checkup and to my greatest surprise i was cured from Herpes virus. My heart is so filled with joy. If you are suffering from Herpes or any other disease you can contact this herbal doctor today on this Email address_________________robinsonbuckler@[[yahoo.com]].....Thank you Doctor
