The Great Pumpkin

I guess it's time to pull out Charlie Brown's "It's the Great Pumpkin" and watch it with my nephews. Yesterday we went pumpkin-picking with them and had a good time. Of course I was busy trying to get them to pose for pictures while they were wanting to run around and find their own "great pumpkin".

But I did get some good silhouette shots in as the sun was setting. As excited as some get about pumpkins, I like the array of gourds that are in the big buckets for the picking.

I picked one of the orange and white pumpkins to take home as my souvenir for the evening. I'm sure this weekend will consist of some gutting and carving and lighting some candles. Here's what it looked like last year after all was said and done....can't wait to see the designs this year....
