Now that’s a big pumpkin
January 27, 2011
One of my favorite days of the year is Halloween. I love going to pumpkin patches but they have to be real — not just some farmer’s field where pumpkins grown hundreds or even thousands of miles away are dumped so unsuspecting kids will think that the over priced pumpkins they’re picking out were locally grown.
This year we didn’t have time to go to a pumpkin patch but there was a nice assortment at one of our local grocery stores and the price they were charging was right: $4.99 for any pumpkin. Naturally I had to take the largest one. We weighed it when we got home: 90 pounds. Wow.
