Beautiful Sunflowers are a treat aren't they?But it is about the pumpkins at this time of year!
This photo just made me feel so happy~Pumpkins can be Beautiful!~
The truth is I'd rather decorate with pumpkins than eat them. Some
pumpkin recipes I do enjoy but I adore they way they look, almost
always. Give me some pumpkins and gourdes and I am happy when Autumn
rolls around. I am enchanted with most colors but these, these are my
favorites and have been for way too long. New England probably sealed
my fate on that forever.
Even though this is exactly like our silver van,
I promise this is not ours!
When I saw this I really had a good laugh.
Who needs this many pumpkins from the pumpkin farm?
Oh, I want this in our front yard!

Pumpkins are so much fun and versatile.
Here are a few of the things I think are great about them...
Topping my list is decorating with them as I mentioned!

pumpkins by painting them black
and embellishing with jewels!

From summer's sunflowers to autumn's pumpkins and gourds! It's amazing the many things that each season brings if we stop and think of them all!
When teaching, the kids loved cleaning out the pumpkin seeds (which we would toast) and then they would watch as several parents and I would (in small groups) carve them!
I love the yellow, orange, and red colors of fall! While teaching there were some teacher friends that would bring back branches with the leaves and give to us for sharing with the children. Some even had a purple color to the leaves!!!
I wonder if the pumpkins in the caravan were taken back home and resold for profit?
What a wagon of gourds! Can you carve those too?
I remember some time in the past Baking a recipe inside of a pumpkin. It's been some time ago! I think it was one of your recipes.
Pumpkin pie is my favorite! I like to make the mini's in the "mini muffin" pan.
The Pumpkin Prince and Princess Coach is delightful! Is it stationary or do horses in array pull the coach?
What a wonderful blog to get your visitors excited about the season of fall!
In re-reading before I posted, I found just above I had written blob instead of blog, ha! It's amazing how my fingers don't always go where they're suppose to, lol! I'm glad I caught it!
It's so good to read your blogs again! I'm so happy you decided to continue! Lov ya, Susan
